The perfect cosy read for 2025 - cats and food come together as the seasons change
Meet Chimaki and Norimaki - two young cats lost in the sprawling metropolis of Tokyo, sniffing out cat-lovers who might be kind enough give them a ride or place to sleep for the night . . . Until they find a new home with the Hōrai family, an eccentric assortment of artists, dreamers and caterers who have one thing in common: their love of good food.
Inspired by the bougie magazine column written by Madam Hōrai, Chimaki decides to keep his own diary, inviting us to in share the family's meals and activities, his younger brother's comical scrapes, and the movements of a mysterious stranger around the house.
