When a gust of wind lifts off her hat, she sees running after it a young man who looks like her recently deceased brother. But it's not her brother; it's Kai, the restaurant's young chef, who returns her hat and brings her to the tiny establishment, where he introduces her to Chibi, the resident kitten, and serves her steaming bowls of simmered fish, rice, and miso soup--the exact meal her brother used to cook for her. As she takes her first delicious bite, the gulls outside fall silent, the air grows hazy, and Kotoko begins a magical journey of last chances and new beginnings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yuta Takahashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Meals to Remember at the Chibineko Kitchen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.31w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143138617","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43311298183305,"sku":"9780143138617","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_14b10b71-0980-4c69-a1a7-b0448883e951.jpg?v=1738051390","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-curious-kitten-at-the-chibineko-kitchen-9780143138617","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
