Sake shop patriotic banner ... I think.

I enhanced the image and this is what I see:

大阪川田豊七酒店
Ōsaka Kawada Toyoshichi Sake-ten

Ōsaka = City name
Kawada = family name
Toyoshichi = given name
Sake-ten = liquor store

Thanks Chen much appreciated

Hey! What about me??? What am I, chopped liver? (^__^)


Actually 店 [ten, ya, mise] means store/shop.


I was just at the store and saw a bottle of sake, the name brand had 酒店 as part of its name, they spelt it as "saka-ya".



酒店
Sakaya
liquor store
