What would you change if you could travel back in time?
In a small alley in Tokyo, there is a café that has been serving well-brewed coffee for over a hundred years. However, this establishment offers a unique experience to its customers – the opportunity to travel back in time.
Four people visit the café, each hoping to make the most of their time travel to talk with a distant lover, to receive a letter from a husband who has lost his memory, to see a sister for the last time, and to meet a daughter they never had the chance to know. But traveling to the past carries risks: customers must sit in a specific chair, they cannot leave the café, and, most importantly, they must return to the present before their coffee gets cold...
The sweet, touching story by Toshikazu Kawaguchi explores the eternal question: What would you change if you could travel to the past? And most importantly, who would you like to meet, perhaps for one last time?
