‘You appreciate things differently when you’re older, don’t you? Food is never just about flavour. It’s something we feel – and in different ways, depending on where we are in life.’ ♡
❦ A memorable, unique, and heartwarming easy read.
❦ While it’s nothing extravagant, I find it incredibly enjoyable. This is the second book in The Kamogawa Food Detectives series, but you can read it as a standalone.
❦ It retains the same unique storytelling. The descriptions of the food are so vivid, you’ll find yourself craving the dishes mentioned—especially if, like me, you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine. It's mouthwatering! Haha
❦ Apart from the food, each story is lighthearted. It feels like you’re sharing a meal with Koishi and Nagare at their place. The father-son duo is endearing, and I love how Koishi's late mother is always included in the stories.
❦ This book brings good vibes, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a quick, delightful, cozy, and healing read. The representations of the food and characters are very unique. Highly recommended!
