● A Message from Author Rina Nanba upon the Publication of 'Junkissa Lunch'

Lunch at a Junkissa (classic Japanese coffee shop) has a different appeal from eating at a restaurant or dining at home.

Whether it's Western-style, Japanese-style, or completely original dishes.

It's packed tightly with the individuality of the shop and the character of the people working there. It feels a bit free, highly satisfying, and is completed as a singular block of time, including the after-meal coffee... That is the joy it holds.

(From the book's 'Introduction')
