»Der Gourmet« konzentriert sich auf typisch japanische Gerichte und erzählt dabei kurze Geschichten eines einsamen Verkäufers, der aus geschäftlichen Angelegenheiten durch ganz Japan reist und dabei die lokalen Küchen ausprobiert.
Texto de presentación:
Un hombre solitario, con un trabajo que le permite una gran movilidad, recorre las calles de Tokio y otras localidades japonesas para visitar a sus clientes. Cada día es una ocasión para redescubrir un barrio que conoce o para conocer uno nuevo. Pero para este hombre, siempre solitario, el momento de la comida constituye una auténtica aventura, casi un ritual. A lo largo de 19 capítulos El gourmet solitario nos presenta otros tantos platos de la cocina tradicional japonesa.

A través de la mirada curiosa de este viajero gastronómico, los autores, Jiro Taniguchi y Masayuki Kusumi, trazan un auténtico retrato sociológico de Japón y de su riqueza gastronómica. Ambos consiguen sumergirnos en las costumbres japonesas, en un paseo sembrado de olores, sabores y diversidad. El gourmet solitario forma parte de esas cosas sencillas que nos ayudan a ver el lado bueno de la vida.
Texte du rabat
Il travaille dans le commerce, mais ce n’est pas un homme pressé ; il aime les femmes, mais préfère vivre seul; c’est un gastronome, mais il apprécie par-dessus tout la cuisine simple des quartiers populaires ... Cet homme, c’est le gourmet solitaire. Au gré de ses déplacements et de ses envies, il fait de chaque repas une expérience unique, qui ravive en lui des souvenirs enfouis, donne naissance à des pensées neuves, ou suscite de furtives rencontres.
Testo della bandella:
Quando si entra in un ristorante nel quale non si è mai messo piede, per qualche motivo diventa necessaria una certa dose di coraggio. Anche se, naturalmente, avventurarsi casualmente in un trattoria di provincia con le pareti tinte di scuro non è la stessa cosa che fare baldanzosamente il proprio ingresso in un ristorante francese in cui non si è ammessi se non si indossano giacca e cravatta. Anche se ormai, nel Giappone di oggi, non si sentono più racconti di persone che entrano in un ristorante, si vedono servire del cibo di pessima qualità e se la danno subito a gambe, lo scrittore Masayuki Qusumi ha pensato di raccontarvene alcuni. A dare vita ai suoi piatti e ai suoi ristoranti, il maestro Jiro Taniguchi, autore di capolavori come "L’olmo", "Allevare un cane" e "L’uomo che cammina". Una raccolta di bellissime storie brevi che non può mancare in una biblioteca di classici del fumetto.
