If you could travel back in time… who would you want to meet one last time?

This internationally beloved series by Toshikazu Kawaguchi invites readers into a quiet Tokyo café with a magical secret: it allows visitors to journey into the past—but only for the length of time it takes for a cup of coffee to cool.

Each beautifully written story explores love, loss, forgiveness, and second chances, reminding us that even brief moments can hold lifelong meaning. Through deeply human characters and gentle, moving prose, Kawaguchi captures what it means to cherish connection in a fast-moving world.

This 4-book set includes:
Before the Coffee Gets Cold
Tales from the Café
Before Your Memory Fades
Before We Say Goodbye

Perfect for thoughtful readers who believe in the quiet power of everyday moments, and ideal for gifting to someone you love—or yourself.

A heartwarming collection about time, memory, and the people we hold close.
