Treats from the Osaka Bakery
Translated from the Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot
Koharu Ichikura loves working part-time at Nostimo, a busy independent bakery in Osaka. As a broke university student, getting to take home anything that hasn't sold by the end of the day is incredible. Could anything be better than a freezer full of croissants, choco cornets, curry bread and cinnamon rolls?
Secretly, Koharu dreams of making it big as a manga artist. For now, she spends her days working at Nostimo shaping dough, neatly arranging baked goods on the shop floor... and solving all manner of everyday mysteries. The stakes are never high, but Koharu has sharper eyes than most, and a love for piecing together clues.
Everyone at Nostimo has their secrets, from the employees to the customers. And Koharu is determined to unravel them all, one delicious item at a time...
A huge instant bestseller, Treats from the Osaka Bakery is the award-winning debut from Usagi Tsuchiya that has sold over three hundred thousand copies in Japan. It has been translated into English by Geoffrey Trousselot, who is best known for the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
