La tienda junto al mar

Mojiko is a picturesque port area in Fukuoka Prefecture, brimming with hidden gems waiting to be discovered. One of its most unexpected treasures is the Tenderness convenience store, open 24/7, 365 days a year. At first glance, it looks like any other store. Although, admittedly, it's a little odd that its handsome manager has his own fan club. And its customers might be a bit eccentric. But there's a warmth about Tenderness that's truly captivating. The lights are always on. The staff calls you by name. And the shelves are overflowing with treats: from specialty coffee to parfaits, egg sandwiches, ramen, crispy fried chicken, and fluffy dorayaki. Over time, you begin to feel like everything you need is waiting for you there. Written by award-winning Japanese author Sonoko Machida, The Shop by the Sea has won over readers worldwide. Its pages invite you on a journey full of warmth and surprises, where you will discover that even the most ordinary places can hide extraordinary stories.
