such a good book. really made me think about the way i engage with food and the way i exist in the world and reevaluate those things. if you go into it wanting a horror novel you'll probably be disappointed, and it is on the slower side, but (like the food in the book) if you take the time to savor and enjoy it it's a really powerful experience

This is a beautiful and gripping exploration of Japanese aesthetics and what it reveals about Japanese culture, how it contrasts with western cultures, and what it says about us as human beings. Cannot recommend enough.

Absolutely the best book I’ve ever read but it took me, if I’m remembering correctly, over a month to get through. It’s so dense with material I had to reread things over and over to get everything being put together. It has an academic vibe, so if that’s not your thing, you probably wouldn’t enjoy. But god, I loved it.
