The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai
4.0

A rather simple and thoughtful cozy Japanese cafe collection! Food detectives who go on searches to find ingredients for and recreate old nostalgic meals from your past?? Hello sign me up. I am becoming a fan of these translated cozy works, and I liked this one more than Before the Coffee Gets Cold. Maybe because it is a touch less trauma-heavy. Still touches on some difficult themes but I feel one step removed, since we are only in the point of view of the cafe/detectives themselves, not the people working through loss or change. I will be reading the next.
