Just finished this vintage book and I’ve been reading it less than a week. Beautiful genuine story but quite sad at the same time ! Easy to follow and engaging !

If you need to be introduced to Japanese culture, habits, beliefs or lifestyle this is the perfect book to be read and add in your shelves.

It's a lovely, positive, and guidance book to read. The author introduces the reader to some lifestyle techniques and meditations to follow for a good, positive, joyful, humility and kindness habits. A masterpiece if you need to read something peaceful and mindfulness.

" Before the coffee gets cold" This is basically a tale of four people from Tokyo, who visit a special alleyway Cafe Shop. The book hence 4 chapters centering around one person, who is able to time travel while he\she sits and enjoys a cup of coffee. It quickly emmerge yourself into all character's past and present with a smooth alteration of their future. Personally, I don't find it as a sci-fi genre, however this is an ambitious attempt at magical realism, confined by its subject of time travel, which over time has evolved almost to a static without allowing those ones travelling to see their faces anymore. 8/10
