Chapter 6: Nikujaga
1
Spring and autumn are when the biggest crowds descend1 on Kyoto. In particular, spring sees a
rush of tourists all trying to enjoy the short-lived cherry blossom season, leaving some parts of the
city literally2 swarming3 with people.
It was early afternoon, and the courtyard in front of Higashi Honganji temple was filled with
visitors gaping4 up at the cherry blossom trees, snapping away with their phone cameras.
What was the point of just taking a photo of some isolated5 cherry blossoms? That was the
question troubling the young man in a suit who, as he passed, shook his head from side to side in
confusion.
After a lengthy6 photo session, the crowd drifted towards Shosei-en Garden, one of the quieter
cherry blossom viewing spots. As though borne along by the flood of tourists, the young man
made his way east along Shomen-dori, a map in one hand. Soon enough, he had found his way to
the building on the right-hand side of the street that he was looking for.
‘This place?’ he muttered, glancing alternately at the mortar-coated two-storey building in front
of him and the hand-drawn7 map he was holding. Through the half-open window he was able to
catch of a glimpse of the interior.
An elderly lady was sitting at the table, seemingly lingering over her meal. The man wearing
whites at her side must be the chef, he thought. There were no other customers inside.
‘Hello there. I’m looking for Nagare Kamogawa.’
‘You’re speaking to him,’ said Nagare, turning around and taking in the man’s appearance. He
was wearing a well-tailored navy pinstripe suit, with a large Bottega Veneta pouch8 under his arm.
