Though they are fictional creations, the author has little hold over them, and there are times when I think they do things the author never imagined -- Hiromi Kawakami, author of STRANGE WEATHER IN TOKYO A witty and sharp exploration of office culture through food. Takase perfectly captures the unsaid dynamics with nuance and honesty. I devoured it. -- Natalie Sue, bestselling author of I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL This witty novel captures the absurdities of modern office life * The Bookseller *
