Le Gourmet solitaire suivi de Les Rêveries d'un gourmet solitaire

A single-volume collection from Casterman, this 2018 release pairs two culinary graphic novels by Jiro Taniguchi: Le Gourmet solitaire and its sequel Les Rêveries d'un gourmet solitaire. The series follows a solitary, unnamed protagonist as he wanders through Japan, finding quiet moments of reflection and deep pleasure in simple, everyday meals. Taniguchi's meticulous, atmospheric art and gentle storytelling elevate these food-focused vignettes into meditations on solitude, mindfulness, and the beauty of the ordinary. This edition collects both works, offering a complete, self-contained experience of one of manga's most beloved slice-of-life series.
