The Kamogawa Food Detectives, translated from Japanese by Jesse Kirkwood, is the first book in the bestselling, mouth-watering Japanese sleuthing series for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.

What’s the one dish you’d do anything to taste just one more time?

Down a quiet backstreet in Kyoto exists a very special restaurant. Run by Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare, the Kamogawa Diner treats its customers to wonderfully extravagant meals. But that's not the main reason to stop by . . .

The father-daughter duo have started advertising their services as 'food detectives'. Through ingenious investigations, they are capable of recreating a dish from their customers' pasts – dishes that may well hold the keys to unlocking forgotten memories and future happiness.

From the widower looking for a specific noodle dish that his wife used to cook, to a first love's beef stew, the restaurant of lost recipes provides a link to the past – and a way to a more contented future.

A bestseller in Japan, The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai is a celebration of good company and the power of a delicious meal.

Kritikerstimmen

The Kamogawa Food Detectives search for the taste of memories. Like sights and sounds, tastes are also deeply connected to one's memories. The depictions of the beautiful scenery of Kyoto and its native dishes, which are like the original landscape of Japan, warmed my heart (Genki Kawamura, author of If Cats Disappeared from the World)
'The Kamogawa Food Detectives is an absolute joy; hilarious, emotional, and entirely delicious. Hisashi Kashiwai's tales of love lost, found, grown older and reborn are both striking and comforting — truly one of a kind. Delectable and delightful' (Bryan Washington, author of Family Meal)

The ultimate cozy, and a glimpse into a world that is at once quieter, more ritualized and seemingly simpler than mine, and yet strangely familiar. I savored every word (KJ Dell’Antonia, author of The Chicken Sisters)

A light, sweet and short book that’s more a collection of encounters than a fully fleshed novel. Nagare Kamagowa and his daughter Koishi run a food detective agency where they track down and recreate their customers’ favourite meals, often with only a handful of vague clues. Each chapter deals with a different customer and more than the actual “cases”, I found it fascinating with which detail individual ingredients, their sourcing and preparation were discussed! The book made me very hungry and left me in awe at the Japanese cuisine but towaess the endI found the structure and storyline a bit repetitive.
I'd recommend it if you are looking for a light, feel-good read and like Japanese food.

Made me hungry!
