The first time I saw you, it was on my weekly stroll. I was strolling, admiring the cherry trees on a shopping street, when a delicious scent led me to Doraharu’s shop. And then I saw you. I saw your face. Your eyes looked so sad, just like mine in the past. That’s why I stopped in front of the shop, as if I was irresistibly drawn to it.
Sentaro works at a durayaki shop in the heart of Tokyo. His life is turned upside down when he hires Toki, an old woman with deformed fingers who will teach him how to lovingly and expertly prepare his dumpling filling, eventually making his shop a destination for connoisseurs of this traditional Japanese sweet. But Toki was hiding six secrets that could not be revealed. She disappeared as suddenly as she appeared, leaving Sentaro with a lifelong lesson. Tokyo Met is a moving and poetic novel about the pain of bodies and hearts, about love, compassion, and resilience. Above all, it is the story of an unexpected encounter between two people who are more alike than they realize, despite their different ages and aspirations.
It is a wonderful novel, a feast to be devoured without moderation!
