I knew it.\" \u003cbr\u003eMoreover, the food story told by the actor himself through the medium of a book, which is different from 'acting', becomes a special gift that allows us to experience the emotions of a 'lonely gourmet' through a book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Matsushige also shares Goro's sense of humor.\u003cbr\u003e Now in his sixties, the author becomes the protagonist in the book, calling himself an \"old man from the past\" and reminiscing about the past, or the protagonist in a heart-wrenching and touching story, or the protagonist in a funny episode, as if filming a comedy movie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As one psychologist claims, \"The most certain happiness is eating delicious food with good people,\" the author also explains why he wrote this book, \"because every single moment of everyday life, when we can sit down at the dinner table, is precious.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Every single moment that I am chewing over\u003cbr\u003e It is a precious time that cannot be exchanged for anything else.\u003cbr\u003e Tomorrow too \u003cbr\u003eSitting at this table\u003cbr\u003e I sincerely hope that I can have a time like this.\u003cbr\u003e With gratitude for everything.\u003cbr\u003e “I ate well.” (From the book)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The charm of this book will be doubled if you dive into the author's warm story of suddenly feeling \"hungry\" like \"Goro\" and saying \"Thank you for the meal\" with gratitude while eating precious food.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike 'The Solitary Gourmet's Eating Notes'\u003cbr\u003e Create your own eating notebook\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book, \"The Solitary Gourmet's Eating Notes,\" contains stories about \"51 soul foods\" selected by the author himself. \u003cbr\u003eThe book is rich with various foods, connections, and countless episodes from each region, including Hokkaido, the author's hometown, which influenced his childhood memories and taste buds, Tokyo, where he went to college, immersed himself in books, and endured his poor acting days to become a respectable actor, all over Japan, where he traveled for countless filming locations, as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Korea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The foods and ingredients introduced in the book are divided into five categories, broadly divided into 'snacks', 'meat and fish', 'a la carte dishes', 'noodles', 'rice and soup dishes', 'desserts', and 'souvenirs', depending on the type of food ingredient or dish.\u003cbr\u003e Although most of the food is Japanese, you will now be very familiar with Japanese food and culture, so you will be able to know more about Japanese food in general, when traveling to Japan, and when you see food in Japanese dramas, movies, and animations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStarting with 'Buk-eot-guk', which is the first food to appear in the 'Appetizer', which is like a 'prologue', and which is said to have inspired the movie [The Solitary Gourmet: The Movie], the 'Natto Wrapped in Kim' section in Chapter 1 unexpectedly praises 'Korean Seasoned Laver', and the 'Mackerel' section in Chapter 2 talks about 'Mackerel Sashimi that can be tasted in Jeju Island', which brings an unexpected sense of joy and the author's deep affection for Korea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Appetizer Buk-eot-guk\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1.\u003cbr\u003e Anju karashi renkon, asparagus, bamboo shoots, kyarabuki, kombucha, chicken skin ponzu, natto wrapped in seaweed, wakame, itawasa,

stories are introduced with delicious illustrations along with short texts, so they are not only easy to read, but also provide considerable 'fun as reading an essay', and it is comfortable to listen to the voice of a familiar actor or a monologue similar to 'Goro' rather than a food critic or restaurant expert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Of course, you might wonder, 'Are actors really better at writing than acting?' \u003cbr\u003eHowever, as can be seen from the fact that the author not only acted in [The Solitary Gourmet Movie] but also planned, directed, and wrote the screenplay, it can be seen that he places great importance on a solid structure and episodes when it comes to writing.\u003cbr\u003e (The author's beliefs about writing can also be confirmed in the conversation with the illustrator in the 'Special Appendix' of the book.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It also introduces anecdotes that are funny enough to make you chuckle to yourself (even a Japanese actor reveals a toilet clogging incident that happened in a Korean hotel bathroom!), and the author's touching stories about his daily life, restaurants, and the people around him (the reason a veteran actor kept holding the hands of his staff, an anecdote about wanting to say goodbye to the owner of a restaurant he often frequented) will also make you feel a little touched.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIf we each create our own eating notebook while reading Matsushige's \"The Solitary Gourmet's Eating Notebook,\" our daily lives will become more meaningful and enriched, just like the small joys and emotions this book conveys.\u003cbr\u003e This is a book that can convey a warm word of gratitude for everything, saying, “Thank you for the meal.”\u003cbr\u003e
