What a charming book! It has such a simple quality to it but it really makes you introspect. I could read about how they make dorayaki for ages :') A huge part of this book revolves around this unlikely friendship between a young man, an old lady and a teenage girl and something about that friendship just touches my heart. This whole story reminded me of what truly matters in life. Definitely recommend!
