Review Quotes

"In terms of its characters, What Did You Eat Yesterday? impresses. Shiro and Kenji are likable characters who spend their days cooking, bantering, and helping each other cope with aging. Their antics are frequently amusing, and Yoshinaga does a good job capturing the sort of compassionate and humor-filled rapport common to many older couples." -- AiPT!
