Former “Ameagari Kesshitai” and TV personality Hiroyuki Miyasako reported “sad news” by the 10th. Miyasako ‘s son looks exactly like him and wants to be an MC. The video was uploaded on YouTube, and it was titled, “[Report] I have a sad announcement regarding the Miyasako family. Miyatako,” a takoyaki restaurant run by a relative in Osaka, has closed. A sign posted at the restaurant read, “Closed: September 22 (Sun.) Thank you very much for all your support over the years, Miyatako. My mother, Katsuko, and her sister, Naomi, came over to talk to us. The restaurant, which had lasted for 15 years, was started by her mother, who had dreamed of opening a takoyaki restaurant after she retired. Katsuko explained the reason for closing the store: “The cost of ingredients kept going up and up, and we had just barely raised the price to 400 yen, so we couldn’t raise it again. The heat is so hot that there are hardly any customers at all, and we wouldn’t be able to recoup our losses even if we kept going,” she revealed. “As long as we had the price we paid, we would have been able to keep going,” she explained, adding that the rising cost of ingredients and the intense heat had a negative impact on the business. Miyasako then said, “Unfortunately, the 15 years of takiyaki and miyatako have come to an end. I apologize, everyone. We had fans coming from far and wide, and we did a lot of other things, but I apologize. Katsuko also said, “That’s the only thing I regret. There were also concerns about physical fitness, and Miyasako said, “It’s too hot. I thought it would be difficult because the summer is too hot. Miyasako also posted on X (formerly Twitter), “I am very sorry, but we are going to close. Thank you very much for your support until now”.
