About this book

Cozy Japan Vol. 16: Cafes, Kitchens & Sweet Shops — Bold & Easy Coloring Book

Created in Japan, by a Japanese author and a Japanese publisher — spend one sweet and warm day in Japan: start with drip coffee and thick toast in a retro kissaten, rest with a tall parfait and a slice of strawberry shortcake in a cozy cafe, cook happily in a home kitchen of steaming pots, hanging pans and a whipping mixer, choose cakes in a sweet shop case and wagashi on a bamboo plate — and say goodnight in a quiet moonlit kitchen with a mug of hot milk. One long sweet day, one page at a time!

This sixteenth volume follows a single day from the first coffee to the last cocoa: kissaten counters, siphon brewers and cream sodas; latte cups, pancake towers and reading corners; rice cookers, ovens with striped mittens and pantry baskets; display cases of little cakes, dorayaki, taiyaki and cookie gift boxes — and evening cafes, cookie jars and goodnight kitchens. (Earlier volumes only visited food for a few pages at a time; this volume lives in Japan's cafes, kitchens and sweet shops all day long. Unlike heavy, detailed adult coloring books, every page here is bold and easy.)

All 100 pictures are brand new — nothing is repeated from Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, Vol. 4, Vol. 5, Vol. 6, Vol. 7, Vol. 8, Vol. 9, Vol. 10, Vol. 11, Vol. 12, Vol. 13, Vol. 14 or Vol. 15. Every picture is drawn with bold, thick lines and big, simple shapes — no tiny details, no stress. Even the evening and night scenes are drawn bright on white paper, so you can color them in any colors you love. Perfect for beginners, kids, seniors, and anyone who colors to relax and unwind.

Learn Japanese while you color! Every picture shows its English name, its Japanese name, and how to pronounce it. By the last page you will know 100 cafe, kitchen and sweet words — koohii, purin, keeki, daidokoro, suihanki, mikisaa and more — without even trying.

Find the tiny pudding! One tiny pudding keeps appearing all through the book — smiling on the kissaten counter, resting on the cafe shelf, cooling by the kitchen window, shining in the sweet case, waving from the bakery shelf, sleeping on a soft saucer, and saying goodnight under the sweet stars. It appears on 7 pages. Can you spot it every time?
