Shinya Shokudou Manga Summary:
A food manga that revolves around curry.
Nominated for the 2nd Manga Taisho Award (2009).
Won the 39th Japan Cartoonist Awards Grand Prize (2010).
And this is about a food stall that had a small menu
and the people who frequent it which seems to be people
in the water trade as well as others. While cold curry
is one of the special treats offered by the food stall
many other simple dishes that you might have at
home are featured on an eccentric menu.

There's only one item on the menu: pork broth (ton-jiru) dinner set. But
the owner/chef will gladly make anything provided that he has the
ingredients in stock (sort of like Iron Chef but in much smaller scale).
The curry is actually called "yesterday's curry." In Japan or at least in
this book, they believe that curry tastes even better if it sits overnight
and reheated.
I really felt that manga like Oishinbo became too technical and characters
don't enjoy eating at all. Rather it's more of a transcription of what the
writer interviewed so I really enjoy this manga as they are not talking
about foods or ingredients that most folks cannot relate to. The author
also does a good job of using food as a background for human-interest
stories.
The Western Addition Branch of SFPB stocks the first seven volumes if anyone
is interested.

Back in the day when I could eat wheat it was axiomatic that
the lasagna of yesterday was better than the lasagna of the same day.
Lots of dishes are like that, But it is also comfort food that you
might well have at home after preparing a batch but having leftovers.
Chile with or without beans is another of the better the next day.

Unfortunately they were in the original Japanese. I found volume 9
yesterday but 8 must have been checked out. I wonder if those manga are
donated or they were purchased from Kinokuniya few blocks down.

I imagine they were purchased as I see no way to directly
donate books to the SFPL system without them being sold to the
general public after your donation. Unless you can donate a lot
of money to gain the status of benefactor and perhaps availability
of space to house your donation,
At one point when I was more mobile I borrowed a lot of
Japanese cinematic work from the Western Edition branch and
enjoyed classics and samurai works that are barely intelligible
except in the action sense but the motivation will escape someone
who does not study Japanese history more intently than myself.
Anime is more interesting to me than accounts of the past
where production costs were trimmed to the bone and significant
incidents were omitted for that reason.
I also watched a lot of the price is no object Japanese
TV historical stories the first because I accidentally found Fuji
TV broadcasting on the weekend from channel 26. That was my
first acquaintanceship with Musashi, then I read that big book,
> Eiji Yoshikawa's famous novel Musashi (originally serialized in

Calling it that points out that Musashi's story
is as much myth and legend as the Mitchell book which put
out a view of the Pre-Civil War South that was a nearly
total invention. That was only 80 years later and most
of the Musashi stuff was written (beside the stele) hundreds
of years later.
Now the TV drama which ran for many weeks was good
but the film and the book only deal with his youthful and
spectacular exploits with the swords. Being an older person
I wondered what happened with the rest of his life
So in mid to late October 2006 I found the following
very interesting book. The following is only one paragraph from
a much longer review I wrote after reading it.
> "Miyamoto Musashi" His Life and Writings by Kenji Tokitsu, a

So this book covers Musashi's life up until his death and
presumed assumption into whatever comes next.
It is very good.
