This hangs behind the sushi bar at my local Izakaya. I love the look of it. Can anyone tell me it says?

    The surrounding characters essentially sum up as a Japanese saying about how a fish in the ocean tastes like a good bottle of wine (sake). It’s sort of play on their words so you’d need to know Japanese to understand the “joke.” The red characters in the middle are pretty much a Japanese version of “live laugh love in izakaya” lol (with accompanying smaller white characters above and below them just listing out the names of foods)

    I asked chat gpt, this was the answer.

    The Japanese text in the image appears to be from an izakaya (a type of Japanese pub). Here is the translation:

    いらっしゃいませ (Irasshaimase) – Welcome

    居酒屋 (Izakaya) – Japanese Pub

    にほんりょうり (Nihon ryōri) – Japanese Cuisine

    Additionally, the decorative images of food and drink (like beer and fish) complement the theme of an izakaya, suggesting that it is a place to enjoy various Japanese dishes and beverages.

    It’s an izakaya! It’s a Japanese bar and food. Can’t go wrong with anything to snack on!

    So the Oilers and the Panthers are NHL hockey teams current playing a best of seven playoff series for the Stanley Cup, the highest trophy in NHL hockey. This picture is at least a little old as they have now completed game four of seven, but having lost the first game they did have hope that they would win the second game.
