There was a cafe called the “Evening Rain” in a western-style building at the end of a narrow street on the Dutch Slope. On a rainy night, a university student who lost her way by chance met a strange shopkeeper.

A mysterious cafe with a strange attachment to evening rain, the “Evening Rain Cafe”……because of it, she got to learn about Nagasaki’s variety of traditional confectionery.

Eventually, she came to work at the shop, but the shopkeeper had an amazing secret.

A story of a sweet relationship connected by sweet confectionery begins here.

It was a really enjoyable reading. The slow peace setting of each chapter was a nice atmosphere and the descriptions of Nagasaki's world of confectionary was delightful. I found it very interesting and particularly, it's a pleasure to read about other cultures from unique points of views/themes. The plot itself is very simple and innocent, even foreseeable ... more>>

Since the beginning it was obvious the true identity of the owner

but I guess the parcial unawareness of the FL (in those details), it's part of the story's charm. It's true that there is not further character's development but for me the snail steps have their own merits. Thanks to the translator for his/her work. Totally recommended. <<less

If you are a foodie...

If you love confections~ bakeries~ cakes~ sweets~ × tidbits of Japanese culinary history~

If you love slow, sweet novels that are filled with fluff the way a fluffy piece of Castella might melt in your mouth~~~

... more>> this is the novel for you!

o (〃^▽^〃) o

Not gonna lie, the whole time I was drooling and googling up images of all the delicious confections mentioned, as well as how they got introduced to Japanese (Nagasaki) culinary culture. The translation is really excellent and the pastry descriptions will leave you craving to try their sumptuous textures and flavors!

*goes back to staring at recipe for pomelocello*

There aren't any major conflicts and or any cannon-fodders. The main character is painfully shy/hesitant type, so she doesn't take initiative until forced by her friends. But even though it's not my preferred MC personality, it wasn't written in an irritating manner so I thought it was fine.

If you want a simple, relaxing plot, then this it. Besides the interaction between ML and FL are really cute, and even though you can predict what will happen, it doesn't bring you a bad taste in your mouth, on the contrary you expect the FL to know herself as well the truth.

of who the ML is or too resolve the little misunderstandings

. Besides there are misunderstandings but not that much.

I definetly recommend it.

Sadly forgot to review it sooner. :D

A very relaxing and sweet (literally sweet because this novel is full of confectionery terms) story. The composition of this story is 50% confectionery, 30% history, and 20% romance. Yeah, the romance is still there although not much. But no matter what, I still love the interaction between MC and ML.

ahhhh such a relaxing story to read. The romance was slow paced but I think it suited the story. It's a good story to read if you're tired of reading MLs with dominating arrogant personality.
