The young man ate a bowl of "ramen" noodles and a side-order of fried chicken at a restaurant in the city of Osaka.

He then produced a knife and forced a waitress to hand over takings of 46,000 yen ($393), the Sports Nippon newspaper said.

When the woman demanded that he pay for his meal, the robber gave her 1,000 yen and waited for his 100 yen change before running away, the paper said.
