Across a bridge in a quiet neighborhood in Tokyo, a seasonal cherry blossom sits on the river. Nearby is the Marble Cafe, where a woman writes in a notebook and a young waiter prepares her favorite hot drink. Both wonder about each other and about the other lives of the clientele who frequent this charming little cafe behind the trees... Without even realizing it, we may touch and change someone else's life. Taking a walk along the river, cooking the best tamagoyaki, ordering hot chocolate, forgetting to remove our nail polish... The small, everyday acts that we do can lead to unexpected encounters and reverberate far beyond your own circle and ultimately make a difference in the world. Hot Chocolate on Thursday is a tapestry of slice-of-life moments that each open and close with a woman ordering her regular hot chocolate at the mysterious Marble Cafe. What happens in between will touch and swell your heart, as we connect with a community of untold unfolding lives.

如果感到疲惫,就坐下来,翻开这本书,一起喝一杯香喷喷的抹茶吧。 只要一直回溯,就会发现无数个充当"纽带"的人。少了其中任何一条"纽带",都得不到现在的生活。任何相遇,都是素昧平生的人们,选择不断牵起相互的手的结果。 最美好的事情在于,那些在远方成为"纽带"人,并不知道自己给某个人带来了幸福。自己用心经营的关于生活的产物,无形中推动了陌生人的生活。 我们自从降生在这个世界上,就拥有了无数的羁绊…… 爱与命运相逢,你我,都身在其中。 《星期一,喝抹茶》延续了《星期四,喝可可》的温暖与感动。 这是一个让人重新拥抱生活,爱上生活的故事。
