Days at the Torunka Café

Curl up with a coffee and Days at the Torunka Cafe, a cosy, life-affirming Japanese novel from the bestselling author of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop. This charming and poignant story is set at a quiet Tokyo café where customers find unexpected connection and experience everyday miracles.

Tucked away on a narrow side street in Tokyo is the Torunka Café, a neighbourhood nook frequented by locals and cats alike. Its regulars include Chinatsu Yukimura, a mysterious young woman; Hiroyuki Numata, a middle-aged man searching for a lost happy life; and Shizuku, the café owner's teenage daughter, who is coming to terms with her sister's death while falling in love for the first time.

While the Torunka Café serves up a perfect cup of coffee, it provides these sundry souls with nourishment far more lasting. Satoshi Yagisawa brilliantly illuminates the periods in our lives where we feel lost and how we find our way again.
