- Summary:
- "Across a bridge in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo, a charming little matcha café--open only on Mondays--offers a beacon of light and healing to all who pass through its doors. All throughout the week, customers flock to the Marble Café that's tucked away behind the trees--except when it's closed on Mondays, when the Matcha Café opens in its place, offering its clientele a warm cup of matcha and restoration to start the busy week ahead. On this one day of the week, people from all walks of life frequent this cozy haven and experience the joys of human connection. Among them include: a singer who has just broken up with his lover, an unsociable young owner of a tea wholesaler, a husband who has made his wife angry, a designer and owner of a lingerie shop, a Kamishibai artist who doesn't get along with his grandmother. This heart-warming story spans Tokyo and Kyoto over twelve months, bringing together a community of untold unfolding lives--all starting with a cup of matcha"-- Amazon.com.
