Serving of Hope

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Patrons from all over Japan arrive at The Kamogawa Food Diner, seeking out memorable dishes from their pasts in order to find answers to burning questions, closure from childhood memories or simply a sense of peace, in this latest tale from the international bestselling author, Hisashi Kashiwai.

Among its customers is a budding lawyer desperate to bring pride to the small town he has left behind - his request for miso soup, a humble dish, brings back memories of his mother's unwavering devotion to her son. The diner also opens its doors to a recently-retired businessman, whose wish for a dish first cooked by his mistress rocks the younger Kamogawa Food Detective, and blurs the lines between duty and morality.

The Kamogawa Diner once again portrays stories which showcase the power of food in evoking nostalgia and bringing together the past, present and future. This series can be enjoyed from any starting point, or read from the beginning!
