“Off-beat and charming, [with] more complexity of flavor than you might expect.” – NPR – Fresh Air with Terry Gross
“Miso soup for the soul.” —Kirkus Reviews
A magical menu of memories awaits…and you’re going to want a second helping.
Travel down the alleyways of Kyoto, passing the Higashi Honganji Temple, and you just might be lucky enough to find the Kamogawa Diner, where a father-daughter “food detective” duo help their clientele discover memories lost to time through recreating delicious food from their pasts.
Take your seat and observe the ginger pork reminiscent of unrequited love, the not-too-sour chilled noodles from grandma’s house, and even the macaroni gratin shared between a father and his young son for the final time. There is no dish or memory too complex for Chef Nagare and Detective Koishi, committed to providing the culinary closure their diners so desire.
The Kamogawa Diner won’t just sate your appetite, as the meals on offer can conjur any forgotten memory. A true tonic for the soul, its customers will leave with a warm belly and a full heart.
