Of food and memories 🥰✨

Hi everyone!

The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai is a cozy read where customers come to the Kamogawa Diner for a mystery to solve which is to recreate dishes they once tasted in the past. No matter how vague their explanation or how long ago it was, Nagare with the help of his daughter, Koishi will surely be able to uncover the truth and mystery behind it.

This book turned out to be nothing like I expected but still such an interesting read. I like the premise of the story and how Nagare is able to dig through the past recreate the dishes exactly like how the characters tasted it. This is a side of a mystery book that I haven't yet ventured into and it's very refreshing.

This book will make you crave Japanese food and even want to try the dishes served in this book. It also focuses on the changing of seasons which was really nice to see how it evolves from one story to another. This book is based in Kyoto which is a beautiful city (makes me want to visit it again). If I have to choose a favourite out of all the stories, I'll choose the first story, Nabeyaki-Udon.

All in all, this is such a comforting read about food, memories and how to move forward in life. I recommend you to read this book as I particularly enjoy the messages that the author conveys to the readers.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
