The Solitary Gourmet

Mister Inogashira, a solitary gourmet and independent trader, explores Japan's culinary landscape in thirty-two chapters, each dedicated to a different dish and restaurant. His journey takes him from bustling Tokyo to quiet Tottori, and even to an Algerian eatery in Paris. While he remains a private bachelor who enjoys food and the company of women, he never rushes through life. This collection, serialized over two decades, invites readers to savor the experiences and flavors alongside Inogashira, making it a unique culinary journey.
