4.0

Thoughtful, considerate and welcoming, Sweet Bean Paste is a book that is deceptively simple. It started out dull, to be honest, with its slow pace. And the sudden shift in tone by the middle can be a bit too noticeable, but what it lacks in structure, the book makes up for in thought and spirit. Reading this was encouraging and comforting. I wish I also had Tokue to talk to.
