The Nozomi Ticket

At noon, I go to the station.
I want to buy a ticket.
I say to a station employee, “A ticket to Osaka, please.”
The employee asks, “A Nozomi ticket is ¥14,000. Is that okay?”
But I do not know what Nozomi is, so I ask, “What is Nozomi?”
The station employee says, “Nozomi is a fast train that goes to Osaka,” so I buy the ticket.
