“Off-beat and charming, [with] more complexity of flavor than you might expect.” – NPR – Fresh Air with Terry Gross “Miso soup for the soul.” —Kirkus Reviews If I hadn’t searched for the ‘flavors’ of my memories, I think I would have spent my life endlessly chasing the past . . . Down a Kyoto alleyway, near Higashi Honganji Temple, the Kamogawa Diner attracts lost souls. The father-daughter “food detective” duo of Chef Nagare and Detective Koishi help their clientele who seek meaning in their lives by helping them access lost memories through the food of their past. From the onigiri gifted alongside cherished promises to the ginger pork that became a memory of unrequited love, the not-too-sour chilled noodles from grandma’s house, and the macaroni gratin shared by a father and young son for the last time, there is no dish or memory too complex for father and daughter. Welcome to another delicious mystery. The Kamogawa Diner is a tonic for the soul, and its customers will leave with a warm belly and a full heart.Author: Hisashi Kashiwai
