Hisashi Kashiwai
The Restaurant of Lost Recipes is the second book in the bestselling, mouth-watering Kamogawa Food Detectives series, for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold. We all hold lost recipes in our hearts. A very special restaurant in Kyoto helps recreate them... Chef Nagare and his daughter Koishi serve their customers more than delicious food at their Kamogawa Diner down a quiet street in Kyoto. They can help recreate meals from their customers’ most treasured memories. Through ingenious investigations, these “food detectives” untangle flavors and pore through old shopping lists to remake unique dishes from the past. From the swimmer who misses his father’s lunchbox to the model who longs for fried rice from her childhood, each customer leaves the diner forever changed—though not always in the ways they expect… A beloved bestseller in Japan, The Restaurant of Lost Recipes is a tender and healing novel that celebrates the power of community and delicious food.

I still think these are a little short, I would love to be shown a lot more, especially in-between and the actual detective work itself. But it's still a very cosy, very wholesome read! Quick to finish but leaves you feeling very hungry and wanting to pop to a Japanese resturant!
The characters are as varied as before, different reasons for seeking the agency and different resolutions, and the main duo while not really much development I do quite enjoy their chemistry!
And Drowsy, if this series doesn't end with them getting into the resturant I'll be upset!
I do really love how varied the food is, and especially highlighting different region's food. I can't say I know too much about all that but the bits I do know I recognise! Learning about new dishes and ingredients is so much fun!! and painful, because I know I'll never be able to eat like, any of it :')
