**Contains four mouth-watering recipes**

The Chibineko Kitchen is no ordinary restaurant: the food can bring someone you''ve lost back to you, for one last time.

It''s been months since Kotoko first visited the tiny restaurant by the sea. Now she works there, alongside the chef Kai and his mischievous kitten Chibi.

One sunny morning, the restaurant opens its doors to Nagi, a young woman facing an impossible choice. Should she marry her boyfriend, despite knowing she only has a few years left to live, or protect him from pain by refusing? She is desparate for advice from the one person no longer around to give it - her mother.

Next to visit are an anxious man rebuilding his life after shutting himself away for years, a lonely widow unaware that she is surrounded by friends, and an actor hoping to rekindle his career. Each leaves the restaurant nourished and reminded of what matters most in life.

Moving and irresistibly uplifting, The Calico Cat at the Chibineko Kitchen is a culinary hug for the soul.
