Through their culinary sleuthing, they revive lost recipes and rekindle forgotten memories. From the Olympic swimmer who misses his estranged father's bento lunchbox to the one-hit-wonder pop star who remembers the tempura she ate to celebrate her only successful record, each customer leaves the diner forever changed -- though not always in the ways they expect ... The Kamogawa Diner doesn't just serve meals -- it's a door to the past through the miracle of delicious food. A beloved bestseller in Japan, 'The Restaurant of Lost Recipes' is a tender and healing novel for fans of 'Before the Coffee Gets Cold'.
