Although mealtimes are often a moment of sharing, they can also be a solitary pleasure. This homage to the cuisine of Japan, with its simple and popular dishes has been portrayed by one of the most elegant Japanese comic authors: Jirô Taniguchi.

Touched by Taniguchi’s gourmet, Kei Kobayashi, one of the most talented of a new generation of Japanese chefs, now settled in Paris, receives the author of “The Lonely Gourmet” and invites him on a gastronomic stroll to the land of their ancestors, based on the chapters of his album. A solitary and unexpected pleasure, which the artist does not shy away from - quite the opposite, in fact.
