DATE OF RELEASE: 1 OCT 2026

A Serving of Hope, translated from the Japanese by Jesse Kirkwood, is the fourth book in the bestselling, heartwarming sleuthing series, perfect for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold. This is an interconnected series, which can be read separately, or binged all at once!

 

If I hadn't searched for the 'flavours' of my memories, I think I would have spent my life endlessly chasing the past . . .

 Near Higashi Honganji Temple in Kyoto, the Kamogawa Diner continues to attract lost souls seeking meaning in their lives. From the morning miso soup before heading to Kyoto for the judicial examination, to the onigiri gifted alongside cherished promises, the ginger pork that became a memory of unrequited love, the not-too-sour chilled noodles from grandma's house, the fried chicken treated by the diner's owner to the struggling baseball team, to the macaroni gratin shared with my young son for the last time—welcome to the diner without a sign, where a chef father and a detective daughter await.

Welcome to another delicious mystery, the fourth installment in the series! A Serving of Hope follows on from The Kamogawa Food Detectives, The Restaurant of Lost Recipes, and The Menu of Happiness.
