banners




Banners like this are found everywhere in Akita. (maybe all over Japan) Some are colorful, others plain and boring but they serve their purpose well, which is advertising their wares. This is a banner of an izakaya. Izakaya is a restaurant that serves just about everything. From sushi to grilled fish, to barbeque and stew, and even sweets. They serve beer, cocktails and sake ,too.( japanese wine ) It opens only about 5 or 6 p.m. Salary men ( that's how they call men who works for a company and doesnt own a bussiness) stop by here with some colleagues for a drink or two and eat slight before going home. By dinner time, couples and friends and groups gather here and in the late hours , bartenders, club owners, exotic dancers and petty hoodlums are the regulars. I haven't been to this particular Izakaya , but since their simple banner attracted me I shall eat here someday.
