Introduction
'at Mealtime' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. The contest aims to curate outstanding works from submissions, discover new talents as a platform, and support the community.
The theme this time was 'The Joy of Meals'.
Meal times are not just for nutrition but are human moments for healing the senses and sharing emotions. Capture the happiness felt during meal times, such as delicious food and drinks or smiles around the table, through photography.
Now, let's introduce the submissions and award-winning works.

Thoughtful Handwritten on Oshibori
📷 iPhone 14 Pro
cizucu Editorial Team
There are places where they write handwritten messages on oshibori. Such small gestures make you want to return. Personally, I was recently touched by a gesture at a udon shop in Kyoto during summer, where they served frozen oshibori.

I went here alone for a meal, but it was much more delicious when shared with someone.

The joy of sharing a meal with someone is expressed in this work through the photo and caption. I believe that the happiness of life is proportional to the time spent dining with family and friends.

A Town with Old Traditions
cizucu Editorial Team
A shot of children shopping at a small local store. Many might recall memories of buying snacks at a neighborhood shop with friends during elementary school. Perhaps this scene is the origin of our excitement for dining out.
