I picked this up because I enjoyed Restaurant to Another World's 2017 anime adaptation. Despite that, I was surprised by just how much I enjoyed the book as there's not much of an actual story in it. It's set in the Western Cuisine Nakoya, a small restaurant in Japan, and on every Saturday, for reasons that aren't really explained, its door becomes a magical portal to various places in a fantasy world. The book consists of a series of stories wherein denizens of the fantasy world visit the restaurant (some being regulars and some first-timers who stumble across an entrance) and eat the food, which they then gush over. I'm not a foodie, and I normally prefer stories with a bit more plot, but I found this book delightful. ( )
