BUTTER by Asako Yuzuki
BUTTER is not just a novel about food. It is a story about longing, control, desire, and the quiet rituals that shape a person's life.
At the center is journalist Rika Machida, who seeks out the imprisoned Manako Kajii, a woman accused of having seduced and manipulated a series of men through her meals. Kajii refuses to speak to the press, but when Rika writes to her and asks for a recipe, a special space slowly opens between them. A space filled with butter-fried dishes, memories, shame, hunger, and questions about what women are expected to be.
The novel moves sensuously through Japanese meals and everyday rituals, but beneath the surface lies a sharp narrative about loneliness, body ideals, relationships, and modern women's lives in Japan.
BUTTER is a book you can almost taste. A slow and captivating reading experience, where food becomes care, power, and memory.
The international bestseller is published here in its original, unabridged Japanese edition, translated into Danish by Mette Holm.

About Seramikku
A PIECE OF JAPAN BROUGHT TO DENMARK
At Seramikku, you will find handpicked Japanese functional art in unique and limited quantities.
The brand was born out of our interest in bringing Japanese and Scandinavian styles together and bringing a piece of Japan into Danish homes. We want to make the Japandi style accessible and inspiring for you by offering unique Japanese items that fit into the Scandinavian interior and food culture.
We noticed that others also found the combination of Danish and Japanese completely unique, and that is where the idea to start Seramikku came from.
Create a personal home
Hand-picked quality in limited quantities
It all started with the sale of Japanese ceramics, but since then the webshop has been expanded to include, among other things, pinboards, artworks, and Japanese kitchen knives.
We love the idea of you getting something that everyone else doesn't also have. That is why we order a very limited number of each item home, so we ensure that what you get is unique and something that only very few have at home.
In the selection of our products, we take great pride in finding high-quality products. Therefore, we import a large part of our assortment directly from Japanese suppliers, so you are assured both the best price and the best product.
