Abstract

What is marriageable age? 　What is marriage? 　What is divorce?
What is a mother? 　What is a daughter? 　What is aging?

This is not a cookbook.
It is a story about a woman who discovers a new way of living through food, friendship and travel.

A deeply personal story of transformation, this book follows a Japanese woman who embarks on a journey of self-discovery between Japan and Portugal.
Through unexpected friendships, cultural encounters, and moments of reflection, she learns to embrace her own voice and redefine her life on her own terms.
Blending memoir, travel, and the quiet rituals of everyday cooking, this book explores resilience, independence, and the courage to begin again.
