Chapter 4: Tonkatsu
1
The long, bitter winter was over, and spring had finally come to Kyoto.
Walking from Higashi Honganji temple, Suyako Hirose crossed the wide avenue of Karasuma-
dori and came onto Shomen-dori. The colours of spring – pale blues1, lemon yellows, pastel pinks
– were also on display in the clothing of people passing down the narrow street.
Meanwhile, making her way east, Suyako was wearing a plain, charcoal-grey dress and black
jacket.
She’d done her homework before getting here, so she felt reasonably convinced that the plain-
looking building in front of her was her destination. Still, given the absence of any sign or other
indications that it was open for business, it was hard to be sure.
By the sliding aluminium3 door was a small window. The chatter4 drifting through it certainly
sounded like that of a restaurant, while the fragrances5 wafting7 out reminded Suyako of the food
section of a fancy department store.
‘Thanks for the meal!’
The door flew open, and a man in a loose-fitting white jacket strolled out before closing it again.
The tabby cat that had been dozing8 in front of the building rushed over to him.
‘Excuse me,’ Suyako said to the man, who had started stroking the cat. ‘This is the Kamogawa
Diner, right?’
‘Yeah, sounds about right. Mr Kamogawa and his daughter run the place, if that’s what you
mean,’ he replied, then bowed slightly. Suyako gently slid the door open again.
‘Here for a meal?’ asked Nagare Kamogawa, wiping his hands as he emerged from the kitchen.
‘Actually, there’s a dish I’d like you to help me find.’
‘Well, if it’s the detective service you’re after, my daughter’s the one to talk to,’ replied Nagare
plainly, looking at Koishi.
‘Though it’s Dad who does the real detective work,’ said Koishi. ‘Are you hungry?’
The clock showed half past twelve.
