Hatsumono Ga Tari (Shincho Bunko)

[Machine Translation] Bonito, white fish, salmon, persimmons, cherry blossoms.... Mystery after mystery involving the "first foods" of the four seasons in Edo.

The supporting characters, including the father of an unidentified inari-sushi vendor who runs a food stall all night long and a boy who is a "worshipper" and is said to possess spiritual powers, also appear and disappear in all directions. We invite you to a historical mystery world full of humanity and a sense of the seasons!
