![]() But, after some persuasion with her homemade bean paste that tastes scrumptious-nothing like Sentaro had ever tasted, she is finally hired. One day, a woman in her seventies, named Tokue, comes to the shop, asking for a job. Working alone for four years, he decides to look for a coworker to accompany him and be someone he talks to, not necessarily because he needs help with the shop. Although it tastes average, he has never finished eating one piece of his own dorayaki because of the sweetness. He uses bought bean paste for the filling and homemade batter for the pancake. The book narrates a man named Sentaro, who sells dorayaki to pay off his debt to the late owner of Doraharu-the dorayaki shop’s name. It tells a heartwarming story that brings up leprosy or Hansen’s disease and a mundane life. First published in 2013, this Japanese novel has been translated into English by Alison Watts in 2017. Sweet Bean Paste is an international bestseller book written by a Japanese author Durian Sukegawa. ![]()
