Features: Just as "the stomach is a shortcut to the heart of a loved one," this time, please use your blooming taste buds to experience Murakami's sensitive way of touching. Fans of Murakami will never miss this magnificent feast, which allows them to personally connect with the innermost essence of their beloved author in a highly sensitive manner! This is both a completely Murakami-style essay and an undeniable standard recipe, blending Murakami's enchanting literary charm with the irresistible culinary temptations of a writer's personal preferences. From Greece to Italy, from open-air markets to fishing ports at dawn, follow the author as he searches for those rare and unforgettable delicacies in the vibrant Europe. From Norwegian Wood to Dance, Dance, Dance, Murakami's novels always evoke images of dazzling, vibrant tomato pasta served on white plates, sandwiched with rich, colorful red and green textures—those foods with a strong old European flavor that tantalize the taste buds and are deeply cherished by Murakami fans. But did you know that the real Murakami himself, even while traveling across Europe for years, remained devoted to the simple, refreshing flavors of Japan: using fresh, unprocessed ingredients in the kitchen, and even salads with just lemon, olive oil, and salt—fresh, light, and healthy, perfectly aligning with modern culinary ideals. This wonderful book, compiled by Japan's "Haruki Murakami Food Lovers' Club," combines Murakami's enchanting prose with his personal favorite recipes: how to turn the salmon bought from a market outside Rome into a Christmas delicacy, waiting for fishing boats to return in a Greek harbor to make the freshest squid into sushi, learning from a Greek farmer how to make the delicious "gagyi rice" with fresh fish. This time, readers are not only destined to fall deeply into Murakami's unique essay style but can also follow the detailed recipes in the book to recreate a completely "Murakami-style" meal, blending the essence of Europe and Asia, and then let your taste buds bloom to enjoy this magnificent feast with your beloved author. Follow Murakami as he wanders through the words of Europe, lost in the completely "Murakami-style" temptation of food!
