The Diner

by Harapekomegane

Welcome to a bustling old-fashioned neighbourhood diner, where every table is filled with hungry customers enjoying irresistible Japanese comfort food, from ham and eggs and ginger pork to chilled tofu and crispy fried horse mackerel. One curious visitor strolls from table to table in lively Edo-style speech, admiring every delicious dish—but something about this customer seems rather unusual. Bursting with mouth-watering food and playful humour, this picture book rewards readers with a surprising final reveal that will send them straight back to the beginning.
