La misteriosa taberna Yoneya

In a hidden corner of the Shin-Koiwa neighborhood in Tokyo, there lies a narrow alleyway where hardly anyone ever ventures. At its far end, one can glimpse the warm glow of lanterns belonging to a small tavern called Yoneya—a place with barely seven seats and a wooden counter worn by the passage of time. Its proprietress welcomes her patrons with a freshly prepared dish, a carafe of sake, and the warmth of someone always ready to listen. Those who cross the threshold of this tavern did not set out to find it. It simply appears before them just when they need it most; yet, when they try to return, they discover that it has vanished, as if it had never existed at all. What secret does this mysterious establishment, tucked away within the alleyways of Tokyo, hold?
