Her parents' stall, "Gyoza no Sakurai," was famous for their dumplings, but it was the takoyaki that truly captured her heart. She discovered her culinary talents early on, often helping her parents at their stand. However, when a mysterious chef offered to train her, she left home to pursue her dream of becoming the Takoyaki Queen.] ……
