食物制造的乐趣与文学引起的激情一样永恒。传统的食材跨越时空，
辗转不同疆土，既是不同文化的传承与见证。也因社会革新与技术进步而不断焕发生机。
正如古老的书籍，历久弥新。每次阅读都能为心灵输送养分。每一次品尝美食，都是在与整个人类文明史对话。
The pleasure offered by food is as eternal as the passion aroused by literature.Traditional ingredients, from across time and space, have passed over different territories, not only inheriting and witnessing different cultures, but also being constantly revitalized because of social innovation and technological progress. They are everlasting, just as ancient books are. Just as reading each time delivers nutrients to the soul, tasting food each time talks with the entire history of human civilization.
《海边的卡夫卡》讲述了主人公卡夫卡的成长史。他幼年时被母亲抛弃，又被父亲诅咒，他决心“成为世界上最顽强的十五岁少年”。本书延续了村上春树一贯的虚构的故事设定，却又深刻地投射出现实社会的影子。村上春树说，“卡夫卡让我们领教了这个世界是何等凶顽，同时又得知世界也可以变得温存和美好。”
Kafka on the Shore tells the story of Kafka's growth. He was abandoned by his mother when he was a child and cursed by his father, so he was determined to "become the toughest 15-year-old boy in the world". The book is a continuation of Haruki Murakami's fictionalized story setting, but it also casts a deep shadow on the real society. Mr. Murakami said, "kafka has taught us how fierce the world is, while at the same time let us know that the world can be warm and beautiful."
“命运就像沙尘暴，你无处逃遁。只有勇敢跨入其中，当你从沙尘暴中逃出，你已不是跨入时的你了。”
Fate is like a sandstorm. You can't escape. Only if you leap into it, when you escape from the sandstorm, you are not the one who stepped in.
北海道对村上春树来说，是终身难忘之地。在那里，他跑完了人生第一次超级马拉松。而这个地方特产的三文鱼，也曾被村上施以笔墨。三文鱼，用一点点的海盐腌渍能激发出它纯粹的香味，不需要多加调料就能感受到三文鱼醇厚的鲜香和一种难以忘怀的大海味道。
由日本最早的威士忌蒸馏所山崎蒸馏所生产的单一纯麦威士忌，是很多米其林餐厅的配酒。它带着特有的奶油香甜与水果味。威士忌是村上春树的挚爱，他将其融入到众多作品中。他希望读者看完能产生“啊，是啊，真想一个人跑去远处什么地方，喝一口那里美味的威士忌”那样的心情，他就非常满足了。
“天妇罗”一词据说源自葡语表示节日的词语Tempora，大约已有150年的历史。天妇罗的世界充满想象力，可以品尝到柿饼天妇罗、纳豆天妇罗、枫叶天妇罗、甚至还有冰淇淋天妇罗。一枚出神入化的天妇罗，能让食客在三十秒内尽享美味。
