Java printf with tab \t

Dear Experts,

I new to Java and I'm working on a homework problem.   I'm stuck and need help. I don't want someone to do my homework; I just need some help figuring out my problem.

I can't get my menu to display correctly.  The first line has an enter tab because the word "Okinawa Soba" has 2 words.  If I deleted the word Soba the menu works correctly.  How do I get the menu to display correctly?  I tried using JOptionPane.showInputDialog, but that don't work.  I put comments on the other lines while I was working on this problem.

Thank you.
