The Menu of Happiness

A beloved Japanese bestseller, The Menu of Happiness is for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and asks the question: What's the one dish you'd do anything to taste just one more time? As warm and nourishing as a good cup of tea...a series I can see myself returning to again and again.--Mia P. Manansala, award-winning author of Arsenic and Adobo

Every memory has a flavor. A very special restaurant in Kyoto helps find them . . .

Tucked away down a Kyoto backstreet lies the extraordinary Kamogawa Diner, run by Chef Nagare and his daughter, Koishi. The father-daughter duo have reinvented themselves as food detectives, offering a service that goes beyond cooking mouth-watering meals. Through their culinary sleuthing, they harness the power of taste to rekindle forgotten memories.

From the yakisoba holding the memories of precious first love to the dumplings shared between sworn enemies, each client will be forever changed by what they find on the menu, because the Kamogawa Diner doesn't just serve meals--it's a door to the past.
