THE KAMOGAWA FOOD DETECTIVES Kamogawa Food Detectives, Book 1

Hanako Footman performs this quiet novel featuring Koishi and her father, Nagare, both of whom run the Kamogawa Diner, a small restaurant on a side road in Kyoto. Together, they help their customers find lost meals from their pasts, researching the ingredients down to their most minute details. Each chapter is a new case, a new desperate person looking to reconnect with some of their most treasured--and sometimes traumatic--memories. Footman's narration captures the story's cozy atmosphere and nostalgic tone as Nagare and Koishi track down each customer's unique meal. Footman delivers the description of each dish in an enticing way that will make listeners' mouths water for dishes like Neapolitan spaghetti, nabeyaki udon, and tonkatsu.
