No Taiyaki for You!

I haven’t been by the mall recently, but when I went by Shirokiya yesterday, the Akimune-an taiyaki concession and whatever that place next to them were gone and a construction barrier wall stood in their place.  I guess I’m not surprised.  Their rotating bi-weekly limited flavor stopped rotating at a certain point, and became unchanging chocolate custard creme and sweet potato (although the signs claimed they were still limited).  Also, when the rude/lazy Micronesian woman started working there, I really didn’t feel like going and having her tell me to just buy the pre-made ones that she would crank out and let go cold and soggy.  Run something poorly – watch it fail.
