Still reeling from the sudden death of her brother, she has heard that the food served there can reunite you with a lost loved one for one last time. Hardly daring to believe it can be true, she sits down to the kagezen, the remembrance meal, and takes a bite. Then the clock stops ticking, the gulls fall silent and the air grows hazy . . .In A Meal to Remember at the Chibineko Kitchen, Kotoko crosses paths with a handful of other protagonists - a primary school boy, an elderly farmer, and the restaurant's young chef - each of them grieving and looking for answers. This is a novel about coming to terms with loss, and finding what matters most in life.
