# Kujira

Places we stopped along the way　/　Iyo, Ehime

A small shop on the coast road serving takoyaki and soft-serve ice cream. Vending machines line the front, and you can eat with the sea in view. This time, one pack of takoyaki with mayonnaise.

648-1 Okubo, Futami-cho, Iyo, Ehime

## This moment in the journey: Takoyaki on the way home

A little detour. A small shop on the coast road, with vending machines lined up out front and a red lantern reading takoyaki hanging under the eaves. It reminded me of the way home from school.

You are not supposed to buy snacks on the way home. But I could not resist the attraction of takoyaki. I opened the pack to find them fresh off the griddle, drizzled with mayonnaise, and ate them on the bench out front, facing the sea. Nostalgia.
