Yes, this one is tortured, involving an English-to-Irish pun, a reference to Japanese cuisine, and an Greek-to-English translation.

'Linn', in Irish, is a pool of water. ('Dublin' is 'Dubhlinn' - 'blackpool')

'Wasabi' is one of the two condiments with American sushi restaurants serve with maki or sushi. The other of course, is 'ginger'

And 'electra' comes from the greek word for 'amber'.

'ginger' 'linn'
'amber' linn'

Sigh.
