Le gourmet solitaire

One says almost nothing of him. He works in commerce, but this is not a man of the press; he loves women, but prefers to live alone; he is a gastronome, but he also enjoys the simple cuisine of the popular neighbourhoods... Cet homme, c'est le gourmet solitaire. Imaginé par Masayuki Kusumi, ce personnage hors du commun prend vie sous la plume de Jirô Taniguchi, sur un mode de récit proche de l'Homme qui marche : each story thus leads us to savour a typically Japanese plate, bringing back memories of the past, giving rise to new thoughts, or triggering fiery encounters.
