![]() Tokue makes the best bean paste imaginable, and begins to teach Sentaro her art. Until one day an elderly, handicapped woman enters the shop. With only the blossoming of the cherry trees to mark the passing of time, he spends his days listlessly filling the pastries. Instead, he works in a confectionery shop selling dorayaki, a type of pancake filled with a sweet paste made of red beans. Sentaro has failed: he has a criminal record, drinks too much, and hasn’t managed to fulfil his dream of becoming a writer. ![]() ![]() Genre: Contemporary, Cultural, Japan, AsiaĪ physical copy of this book was kindly provided by the publisher and Raincoast Books, in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
