Another neighborhood shop closes...

This is was a tako yaki shop that was open for 23 years. The owner turned 80 and seemed to be having health problems. I went there a couple of times. During the summers there was always a group of regulars watching the Hanshin Tigers' baseball game on TV with the door open. Passing by after work I always took a peek so I could know the score before I got home. The shop definitely had personality. Sad that it closed.
