Description

Ponent Mon/Fanfare:
This is the book in which nothing happens but everything is consumed! Like 'The Walking Man' at lunch!!
What do we learn about Mister Inogashira? He’s a sole, independent trader importing household and fashion goods from France. He is always busy but never rushed as he travels around Japan selling his wares. He’s a private person who, whilst he enjoys the company of women, prefers to remain a bachelor. He smokes cigarettes but never touches alcohol. But above all, he enjoys his food! He is The Solitary Gourmet!

Note: The first volume has 18 chapters and has 3 different editions (1997, 2000 and 2008). An especial chapter, "孤独のグルメ - 特別編" (Kodoku no gurume - tokubetsu-hen), was released in 2008 to celebrate the 3rd edition. In 2009 the series began to be released again in the magazine SPA!.
Was nominated for the 20th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2016.
