I’ve not read this, but will look for it. I’m reading a Japanese novel too - The Kamogawa Food Detectives, which I’m loving. There are a lot of food descriptions in this too - it’s the whole point of the book, but it is so typically Japanese at it’s core. It’s not about food at all, however, the food descriptions make me hungry everytime I read it!

Definitely read 'Butter' then - the food descriptions are definitely a major part of the storyline, once I've seen what it is (my Google search) it makes me hungry - never thought I'd want rice with butter and soy sauce 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️ but definitely want to actually try it! I'll look into the book you're reading as that sounds good. I love Japanese (translated) books.
