My only regret in reading this book is not knowing more about Japanese cuisine. But after reading it I can say that I know more about it now then before.
The book have things in common with Before the Coffee gets Cold in that each chapter follows the same formula and follows a new character. Someone arrives at the Kamogawa Diner in hope of having a dish from their past recreated and their reasons for wanting it. Skip forward in time and follow them as they taste the result and an explanation from the Chef/Detective of how he did it.
Stories that follow a formula like this one is not for everyone but it works for me. I really recomend it if you like cooking and/or Before the Coffee gets Cold.
Also, unlike Before the Coffee gets Cold, the cat on the cover on this one is actually in the book
