If you want to reminisce about a spring day in Tokyo while eating your breakfast, you should consider getting this electric waffle-maker that makes waffles shaped like a giant cherry blossom. All you have to do is put the batter in there, close it, open it, and voila, done. Also note that you can take the cherry blossom apart to make five heart-shaped waffles, too.

Yes that true, Akaa. Even those really old ones in cast iron that you heated on the iron stove had that pattern.

Yes, Waffle makers have been looking like that since forever here in Sweden. We call them "Heart Waffles" because you can tear away the individual parts to get heart-shaped waffles.
