Into the book
But he never thought that such misfortune would happen to him.
Even though Damotsu's parents passed away early, somewhere in his heart he believed that we would be okay.
I'm saying that I'll always be on the side of giving counseling, and I won't be on the side of going to receive counseling.
I believed that my ordinary but happy life would continue.
--- p.26

Himari, who had lost someone to hold in her arms, cried out loud.
He apologized to the lost smartphone with a voice that couldn't even come out properly.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…….”
Over and over and over and over again, until the voice could no longer come out.
--- p.32

Although I was able to meet Damotsu, my wounds did not heal.
You will continue to feel lonely in the future.
Because I will have to live alone in tearful sorrow.
But it's okay.
I'm sure it'll be okay.
I have memories.
I have memories of what Damotsu said and of being loved.
--- p.80

My parents told me that I had a happy ending, but I couldn't believe it either.
Rico was so thin that he was unrecognizable.
Traces of the battle against the disease remained.
It must have been difficult.
It must have hurt.
You must have been scared of dying.
--- p.133

The time of miracles does not last long.
In an instant, it becomes the past.
It will definitely be the same in reality.
The world is made up of miraculous moments spent with precious people.
It is a time that will soon become the past.
The warmth of the nostalgic dinner table is fading away.
Rico's appearance also became blurred.
The time has come to return to the other world.
I couldn't say anything.
But I have no regrets.
Even if the time of miracles comes again, I will sing.
I will sing without saying anything.
--- p.162

“I’m really sorry for saying such harsh things.”
I'm apologizing for what happened the last time we met.
Even though he's dead, it seems like that thing still bothers him.
I was hurt by her one-sided harsh words, but now I know that it wasn't my mother's fault.
Shinji knows his mother's secret.
It's a secret that there's no need to hide now.
--- p.203

Perhaps people live to disappear from memory.
Most people in this world, as time passes, forget that they ever existed in this world.
“Cherish your life.
“You have to know how to cherish the happiness you have now.”
Because life is fleeting, we must cherish every moment.
My mother taught me that.
--- pp.213-214

“Thanks to you, I had a good dream.”
It seems like you were able to meet someone special.
The difference between reality and dreams is vague.
A person's life is as vain as a dream.
The time that passes like this right now may be just a dream that passed while I was closing my eyes for a moment.
Because humans are beings who cannot distinguish between reality and dreams.
--- p.291

To live is to lose.
But the feeling of thinking about someone remains until the end.
A loving heart is never lost.
It doesn't disappear.
Why, why, the black-tailed gull cried.
I can hear the sound of waves.
The sea breeze blows.
The winter sun casts shadows.
The back of the old man who had come back home was getting smaller between the sandy shores.
Walk as if you are stepping on your own shadow.
The two of them watched him from behind until the end.
--- p.293

Publisher's Review
A miraculous story at a cat restaurant, created by a deep longing for a loved one and a warm heart for someone precious.

Himari, who lost her husband of the same age as her, Tamotsu, in an accident after graduating from high school, spends each day in regret.
Minato, an aspiring singer, loses his girlfriend and only fan, Riko, who suffered from an incurable disease.
Shinji, an only son, lost his father and even his mother.
Shigeru, a pure-hearted man who has been living alone, unable to forget his first love, his fiancée Yoshiko, who passed away 60 years ago.

One day, while struggling day by day in despair and regret after losing a loved one, he learns about a 'cat restaurant' by chance and visits the restaurant to order a 'memory table' filled with memories of the deceased.
A mysterious and touching story begins with the main characters meeting the deceased, confirming their love, and finding comfort at a cat restaurant where they are told that if you eat a memory meal, you will meet a special someone.

“Cherish your life.
“You have to know how to cherish the happiness you have now.”


The protagonists in the work, who are in despair and regret due to the sudden death of a loved one, visit a cat restaurant to express gratitude to their loved one, apologize, say things they were unable to say, or say their final goodbyes.
The main characters in the work are ordinary people we can easily meet around us.
The sudden misfortunes of these ordinary people evoke empathy, making one feel like one could be in their shoes, and making the reader feel like one is the main character in the story, immersing oneself in memories.

The author discovers emotions and hope that go beyond tears through the main characters who meet the deceased, receive comfort, and confirm their love, while also conveying the message to be faithful to oneself and the precious people around oneself, and to cherish the happiness of the present.
It also connects food and memories, showing how food, filled with memories, can provide comfort and healing to people, and making us look back on all the precious moments in life spent with delicious food.

What if there really was a nostalgic dining table? Wouldn't the mere existence of such a table be a great comfort to many?
