Description from Goodreads
The Kamogawa Food Detectives, translated from Japanese by Jesse Kirkwood, is the first book in the bestselling, mouth-watering Japanese sleuthing series for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.
What’s the one dish you’d do anything to taste just one more time?
Down a quiet backstreet in Kyoto exists a very special restaurant. Run by Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare, the Kamogawa Diner treats its customers to wonderfully extravagant meals. But that's not the main reason to stop by . . .
The father-daughter duo have started advertising their services as 'food detectives'. Through ingenious investigations, they are capable of recreating a dish from their customers' pasts – dishes that may well hold the keys to forgotten memories and future happiness.
From the widower looking for a specific noodle dish that his wife used to cook, to a first love's beef stew, the restaurant of lost recipes provides a link to the past – and a way to a more contented future.
A bestseller in Japan, The Kamogawa Food Detectives is a celebration of good company and the power of a delicious meal.
My Thoughts on the Book
The Kamogawa Food Detectives is one of those heartwarming and comforting books about memories, good food, and how it's sometimes connected. You might end up being rather hungry while reading this book though, as the descriptions of food are absolutely amazing. It's a quiet book without a rollercoaster plot and more character-driven than antyhing else, but it's a really charming book.
If anyone is in search of a mouth-watering healing fiction, feel free to check out this book.
