Immerse yourself in the life of a solitary man who travels the streets of Tokyo and other Japanese cities in search of clients. Each day is an opportunity to discover new neighborhoods and rediscover the familiar ones. However, for this man, mealtime becomes a true adventure, almost a ritual. Throughout 19 chapters, 'The Solitary Gourmet' presents us with a variety of dishes from traditional Japanese cuisine. Through the curious gaze of this gastronomic traveler, Jiro Taniguchi and Masayuki Kusumi offer us a sociological portrait of Japan and its rich gastronomy. This work invites you to appreciate the small things in life, immersing yourself in Japanese customs, on a journey full of smells, flavors, and diversity.
Jiro Taniguchi was a Japanese manga writer/artist. His works belong to the gekiga, or "dramatic pictures", genre of manga. In France he was knighted a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2011.
