A 36-year-old man from Osaka City said, "I like myakumyaku, so I was looking forward to today. I want to wear this plate and run in various places."
Hiroshi Yoshida, taxation section manager of the tax department of the Osaka City Finance Bureau, said, "This is the first license plate with 'Myakumyaku' drawn on it, so I would like citizens and businesses to attach it to the Expo," he said.
