Features: A restaurant is not an ordinary place, not a place you have to go. But once you're there, your mood changes. Eating is a pure desire, and in the moment you open your mouth, an undeniable urge is revealed. They are places where you can go to change your mood. Every restaurant is like this: a glass city of softness, scattered in every corner of the city. It allows you to safely land in different moods. Today, in the rigid city, we open our mouths to savor the captivating and lingering flavors of diverse cuisine. This book about eating does not discuss the philosophy of eating, nor does it tell you about the profound history of Chinese cuisine. Instead, the "pleasure of the mouth and tongue" in the city has become a spiritual journey for the body's senses, revealing thoughts through the details of decoration. A hundred pairs of cups, plates, and bowls wait for a mutual understanding, and as they pass over your taste buds, they listen to your response.
