Days at the Torunka Café

Tucked away on a narrow side street in Tokyo is the Torunka Café, a neighborhood nook where the passersby are as likely to be local cats as tourists. Its regulars include Chinatsu Yukimura, a mysterious young woman who always leaves behind a napkin folded into the shape of a ballerina ; Hiroyuki Numata, a middle-aged man who's returned to the neighborhood searching for the happy life he once gave up ; and Shizuku Tachibana, the café owner's teenage daughter, who is still coming to terms with her sister's death as she falls in love for the first time.
While Torunka Café serves up a perfect cup of coffee, it also provides these sundry souls with nourishment far more lasting. Satoshi Yagisawa brilliantly illuminates the periods in our lives when we feel lost - and how we find our way again.

From the internationally bestselling author of the Morisaki Bookshop novels comes a charming and poignant story set in a quiet Tokyo café where customers find unexpected connection and experience everyday miracles.
