Kyokuchiteki Oudoushoku

Synopsis

They're not anyone's “favorite” foods, but they all have their own place in our hearts. Boiled chikuwabu cakes, sweet amashoku buns, kanpyou (dried gourd!), deep-fried chikuwa fish cakes wrapped in seaweed, sweet suama mochi cakes, soft gyuuhi mochi, frozen mikan, soba water… This manga is an ode to those foods that are a bit unremarkable, yet still so dear to us. The author's cute sidekick Mogu-san is a cute treat as well! Eiko Matsumoto, the creator of Nazo no Ano Mise, brings you this super tasty essay comic that cooks up both laughs and feels.
