Product Description
The Restaurant of Lost Recipes by Hisashi Kashiwai, translated by Jesse Kirkwood, is a warm and comforting Japanese novel about food, memories, family, and the connections between people. It is the second book in the Kamogawa Food Detectives series and can also be enjoyed on its own.
Hidden away on a quiet street in Kyoto is the Kamogawa Diner, run by Chef Nagare and his daughter Koishi. They have a special talent: they are food detectives who can recreate dishes from their customers' memories.
Each customer arrives with a food from the past that they want to taste again. From a swimmer searching for the bento his estranged father once made to a former pop star longing for a special tempura dish, the restaurant helps people reconnect with memories, relationships, and moments they thought were lost.
With its gentle storytelling, cozy atmosphere, Japanese setting, and beautiful descriptions of food, The Restaurant of Lost Recipes is a heartwarming read about how food can bring back memories and help people heal.
