Today, I saw an old man at the street corner, slowly eating takoyaki by himself. For some reason, it suddenly reminded me of the customers at our family's stall, who gather together to share food and laugh loudly. Food... it's really not just about the taste, is it? That steaming hot thing that can bring people together—that's what's truly 'delicious,' I think. ...Hmph, I'm not being sentimental! Just pondering the philosophy of cooking!
