Chocolate Thursday

Author's name: Michiko Aoyama

I learned firsthand how people, plants, and animals interact. Everything that breathes on this earth is interconnected. On a bridge, in front of the cherry blossoms, stands the Marble Café, where a woman writes in a notebook and a young waiter prepares his favorite hot drink. They both wonder about each other and about the lives of the customers of this charming little café tucked away in the trees... Strolling along the river, cooking the most delicious tamagoyaki, ordering hot chocolate, forgetting to remove their nail polish... These small, everyday acts can present us with unexpected encounters and ultimately change our lives. "Hot Chocolate Thursday" brings together twelve moments of life, beginning and ending with a woman ordering an ordinary hot chocolate at the mysterious Marble Café. What happens in between will touch your heart and delight you, as we connect with a community of untold lives.
