Description
Translated from Japanese by Jesse Kirkwood, The Restaurant of Lost Recipes is the second book in Hisashi Kashiwai’s Japanese food-detective series, following The Kamogawa Food Detectives. The interconnected books can be read separately or together, and this edition includes an exclusive letter from the author. Hidden down a Kyoto backstreet, the Kamogawa Diner is run by a father and daughter who serve more than delicious meals. Calling themselves “food detectives,” they recreate beloved dishes from customers’ memories, reconnecting them with treasured moments from the past. A one-hit pop star seeks the tempura she once ate to celebrate her only successful record, while a promising Olympic swimmer longs for the bento lunch his estranged father used to prepare. Through the magic of food, the diner revives lost recipes and rekindles forgotten memories. This heartwarming, gently humorous novel combines mystery, Japanese culinary traditions and feel-good themes.
