The Restaurant of Lost Recipes

Wrote a review for

I liked the first book so I thought I would give this one a try.  

This book solidifies the series as a leading part of Japanese healing fiction books that are popular right now. The stories are not a repeat of the last book and the main characters are a great part of the book. The book is well written and you don’t feel the drag of translation. This book could be read as a standalone although its worth it to read the first book.   

The stories are beautifully crafted and it’s impressive the connection to each of the characters in the short stories that the author builds. There are no weak stories in this collection. The book is well thought out and you never feel cheated when it is explained how each item is recreated.  

 I enjoyed this one and am looking forward to the next book to be translated.
