Seagull Canteen
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" > lucky and green</h1>
Yukihye opened a restaurant called "Seagull Canteen" in Helsinki, finland, and the main menu was rice balls, which she remembered as food.
It was almost a month before the first customer arrived.
Finnish teenager Tom, ordered a cup of coffee.
He was a lonely teenager, probably had no friends, and always came to the shop alone.
He loves Japanese culture, speaks a little Japanese, always wears T-shirts printed with Japanese animation, Bushido, and geisha motifs, and wears the anime Science Ninja Squad for the first time, a classic sci-fi hero anime that has been screened since 1972.
So he talked to Yukie, and he wanted to know the lyrics of the anime theme song. However, Yukie's memory only stays in the first sentence.
When the teenager had to pay to leave, Yukie offered him free of charge because he was the first customer of the store.
Yukie still remembered the lyrics of the song and went to the local bookstore.
But there, I met Midori, who was also Japanese, a traveler who wanted to go somewhere further.
A peculiar woman who came here with a finger on the map.
If fate had taken her to Alaska, or Tahiti, she would have to.
It is precisely this theme song that fate is tied up by them.

Since Green was still wandering aimlessly in the city, Yukihye invited her to stay at home for a while.
In the evening, Yukie made a Japanese meal for her.
Green took a bite of rice and cried.
I don't know whether this is immersed in the feeling of "meeting people in other places", or whether I am alone in a foreign country and miss my relatives even more.
The low mood eased slightly, and Green asked why he opened a canteen in Finland?
Yukie feels that each country has its own traditional food, but only Finns have a diet similar to the Japanese.
They all enjoyed eating "salmon", grilled salmon with rice, very plain, but delicious.
Later, Yukiko confesses there that this is the reason that suddenly came to mind.
But salmon is her permanent subject, and she can come up with all sorts of reasons for it.
After visiting all the sightseeing spots, Midori wanted to stay in the cafeteria for a while to work, but Yukie gladly agreed.
What drove her to do this?
She often says that there are many things in the world that they don't know, more like self-deprecation.
Then, there should be a sad story behind her, so that she will not hesitate to leave her hometown and find another piece of pure land.
At this time, there was one more person in the canteen. There was a guest, a boss, and a beat worker.
Green always tried his best to help improve the business of the canteen, after all, Tom was the only one who frequented him.
She came up with ideas, such as advertising a restaurant or making Japanese rice balls using local ingredients.
However, in the end, they all seem a bit redundant.
Yukihye understands her intentions for her sake. Moreover, there are some things that do not know its significance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" > canteen and Yukihide</h1>
The reason why Yukihye opened a canteen,
Hopefully, it conveys a special meaning,
It can add a comfortable, comfortable and relaxed feeling to the hearts of guests here.
It's like all the people who pass by here, by chance, want to walk in and eat the food they want to taste.
Enough to come and go, to leave.
Nothing happened more naturally than this, and it was her ideal canteen.
Moreover, the rice ball also carries her good memories of the past,
Since childhood memories, salmon, dried plums, and bonito are the only way to eat rice balls, the most delicious combination.
This is true for the Japanese, and the Finns are no exception.
The canteen must return to its original temperament, and she wants to convey this concept to the guests who have tasted the food.
She also wanted to keep that original wonderful intention, which was also her attitude.
If there were still no guests, she would shut it down. It might have been the worst-case scenario, but she felt it wouldn't happen.
This dim light had not yet fallen on her heart, and the green phrase "you should make something that the locals like to eat" woke her up, cinnamon roll (korvapuusti).
The aroma of cinnamon is overwhelming
It's a food that Finns can't escape, just as onigiri is the soul of Japanese cuisine, and they even designate October 4 as Cinnamon Bread Day. So she decided to make cinnamon roll bread.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the canteen, three Finnish old ladies would linger for a while, looking at the two strange Japanese women in the restaurant.
When Yukie and Midori take out the roasted cinnamon rolls, they are constantly emitting a seductive fragrance, which just attracts the three old ladies, and it is the unique charm of the cinnamon roll bread.
In the canteen, whether it is rice balls or cinnamon rolls, they are all simple foods, and people who like them,
It is precisely because they leave a delicious and happy taste in their memories that there is a power that has always attracted people.
And in the face of others, Yukihye is always so quiet and funny,
Her bright and crisp voice, or idyllic or bright face, was waiting, with her guests unexpectedly.
Hoping to eat delicious food, they love this little "utopia".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="140" > Yukie and Masako</h1>
Another strange woman standing in front of the window, with a world-weary expression written on her face that no one should approach,
He always didn't say a word, staring directly at Yukihye until Yukihye smiled at her and then turned to leave.
On this day, she was standing there, with one more woman beside her.
Suddenly seeing two cold-eyed faces, it frightened Green.
That person was Masako, and she came here by chance.
Then, one of them turned and left, and the other walked in.
Her suitcase was lost while transiting at the airport, so she had to stay here, waiting for her important thing.
From time to time, she stood by the harbor, contacted the airline, asked about the current whereabouts of her suitcase, and often came to the store for coffee.
After a long time, he also became a worker in the canteen, just like green.
They can't help but wonder why Masako came to Finland.
One day, Masako saw finns on TV at home holding some interesting competitions, like air guitar races, wife running, sauna patience races,
She felt that these people had devoted great enthusiasm to such ordinary things, and that they had so much joy and full of happiness from them.
In the pursuit of a more comfortable and open spiritual world, she was deeply moved.
So, when she had unloaded the burden of 20 years, she came here.
She wondered why it wasn't so troublesome and peaceful.
Tom, sitting behind him, blurted out, "Forest."
She got up immediately, just to experience the situation he said.
Standing under the towering trees, full of greenery, everything around you is the sound of nature.
Bathed in the speckled sunlight that sprinkled from the pores, the breeze blowing slowly, the leaves above her head rattling, the birds chirping, gentle and long, the five Tibetan and six houses were drunk here, so small that she was also melted in this silence.
The rest is a perpetual silence.
This breath of tranquility and peace slowly enveloped her withered heart with emerald green vitality.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="153" > Masako and the woman</h1>
Later, the strange woman walked in, and she wanted to use wine to dispel her sorrows.
Because her husband suddenly ran away from home for no reason, she was panicked.
Although the language barrier, Masako understands her feelings, they are all suffering from love, affection and love.
She wanted a magic that could curse people, and Japan had a scarecrow with a heart.
She was tormented to death by her husband, and perhaps she wanted him to experience such personal pain.
She transferred this sad force to the puppet, not wanting to shed tears of sorrow for his husband anymore.
Soon, the mood turned better. They also made friends with the three of them, and they went out on a date together and went to the sauna together.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="200" > with the man</h1>
When I went back to the canteen, I met a "thief".
It turned out to be the man who had taught Yukihye to brew mellow coffee.
Pronounce kopi luwak (the best coffee) with your heart, and like a mantra, you can make a cup of better coffee.
He didn't want to explain why he had sneaked in to take what he had left here before.
Food is the cure for everything. Just like at this moment, they made rice balls, wanting to share this delicious food with this man, and it would also dissipate the heavy worry that was still pressing in their hearts at that moment.

Masako's suitcase was finally looking for it.
Will she get out of here?
Green was very reluctant to her, and Yukihye looked more open-minded.
Because everyone has their own choices and will do what they want to do, this is a happy thing.
Unaccompanied, lonely, lonely, people will experience such a life, this is an eternal truth.
But it doesn't mean that someone has to stay with her, and at this time and not at another time, there will always be a parting, and people will always change.
If you don't want to do something you don't like, you have to bear something in your heart.
However, Masako finally stayed here.
Her important things were in her suitcase and were returned to her.
It's like the old walking man who left the cat in his arms to her,
She also left something important in her body here, so it was difficult for her to leave.
In the end, Yukie's small "utopian" canteen came to fruition.
Plus my applause
