Tokyo Delights
The first time I saw you, it was during my weekly stroll. I was walking, admiring the cherry blossoms on the shopping street, when a delicious aroma led me to discover Duraharu's shop. And that's when I saw you. I saw your face. Your eyes looked so sad, just like mine used to be. That's why I stopped in front of the shop, as if I were irresistibly drawn to it.

Sentaro works at a dorayaki shop in the heart of Tokyo. His life is turned upside down when he hires Toki, an elderly woman with deformed fingers, who teaches him how to lovingly and skillfully prepare his dorayaki fillings, transforming his shop into a destination for connoisseurs of this traditional Japanese sweet. But Toki harbored a secret that could not be revealed, and she vanished as suddenly as she had appeared, leaving Sentaro with a lesson that would stay with him for life.
Tokyo Delights is a moving and poetic novel about the pain of bodies and hearts, about love, compassion, and resilience, but above all, it is the story of an unexpected encounter between two people who are more alike than
They both believe, despite their different ages and aspirations. It's a wonderful novel, a feast to be devoured without restraint!
