Feelgood and foodie themes collide in this follow-up to The Kamogawa Food Detectives * The Times * Kashiwai is among a certain coterie of Japanese writers to have perfected a globally successful literary formula: create a caf-esque setting with beloved staff who deliver plenty of empathic kindness to customers whose visits inspire stand-alone narratives . . . Deliciousness lingers * Booklist * This cozy book delights in Japanese cuisine * Kirkus * A treasure trove of positivity and charm. * Prima * In addition to tantalizing recipes, the narrative is driven by the desire to recapture lost love, reconcile with a parent, or relive ones youth. Ingredients and items are lovingly detailed . . . The equivalent of delightful comfort food. * Library Journal * Like sights and sounds, tastes are also deeply connected to one's memories. The depictions of the beautiful scenery of Kyoto and its native dishes, which are like the original landscape of Japan, warmed my heart -- Genki Kawamura, author of <i>If Cats Disappeared from the World</i> on <i>The Kamogawa Food Detectives</i> The food writing is truly superb . . . Reading this heartwarming book almost feels like watching a quiet box set; it's the perfect accompaniment to a rainy autumnal Sunday -- on <i>The Kamogawa Food Detectives</i> * Cambridge Edition * An absolute joy; hilarious, emotional, and entirely delicious. Hisashi Kashiwai's tales of love lost, found, grown older and reborn are both striking and comforting - truly one of a kind. Delectable and delightful -- Bryan Washington, author of <i>Family Meal</i> on <i>The Kamogawa Food Detectives</i>
