Acerca de esta escucha

The cult Japanese bestseller about a female gourmet cook and serial killer, and the journalist intent on cracking her case, inspired by a true story

There are two things that I simply cannot tolerate: feminists and margarine.

Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in the Tokyo Detention House convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, whom she is said to have seduced with her delicious home cooking. The case has captured the nation’s imagination, but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. That is until journalist Rika Machida writes a letter asking for her recipe for beef stew, and Kajii can’t resist writing back.

Rika, the only woman in her news office, works late each night, rarely cooking more than ramen. As the visits unfold between her and the steely Kajii, they are closer to a master class in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii, but it seems that Rika might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body. Do she and Kajii have more in common than she once thought?

Inspired by the real case of a convicted con woman and serial killer—the “Konkatsu Killer”—Asako Yuzuki’s Butter is a vivid, unsettling exploration of misogyny, obsession, romance, and the transgressive pleasures of food in Japan.

The narrators voice

Sublime. I want to listen to every audiobook read by this narrator. Also genuinely one of the most satisfying books to listen to.

Interesting look at societal pressure in Japan

Not sure what to make of this book. The first part is a sharp and interesting look at Japanese work culture and gender relations. The second part kind of drifts into a saccharine feel good story reminiscent of the Goonies where a group of misfits crowning achievement is cooking a turkey without getting food poisoning.

Rice with butter and soy is a taste revelation!

This book is worth every minute of your listening, not only about the interesting case in question and the maddening and complex Manako Kaji, but I love the self revelation that Rika explores, and how she becomes a strong and confident woman. Her relationships change and develop deeper meaning for both her and her circle of friends.
The toast she makes at the turkey dinner could have been summed up with “Thsnks to Manako Kaji opening a curiosity in me about food, it has also helped me find all of you!”.

Story with Depth

The story brought me to a lot of reflection. I am a big foodie so I lived hearing about all the dishes and how the author blended it so well into what makes life

enjoyable, subtly feminist, read

amazing performance, it was so nice to listen to. the story is a slow burn for sure, with mild highs and lows, but it is consistent in its overall trajectory. there’s really not much about ‘murder’ as the book states but more so about self discovery and reflection.

A bit hard to follow

As an American listener, I found it difficult to differentiate the names of the characters. The scene transitions were hard to follow so I spent a good deal of time playing catch up. Interesting premise for a story.

Tale of female oppression and how indulgence is a form of liberation

The pacing at the end at times felt slow but i also took an edible before listening LOL. Loved the concept and the ending.

Very enjoyable

This book felt like a story I haven’t heard before, which was much appreciated. I loved it as a window on Japanese culture and food, and found the theme of women’s “appropriate” roles in society and the pressure to meet others’ expectations, whether real or perceived, had universal appeal. The narration was lovely to listen to as well.

Beautifully Written Story

Butter is a beautifully written story about scrumptious food and meaningful relationships. It is also a murder mystery but it is the different relationships and connectionsns between the characters that make it a joy to read and listen to. The narrator is wonderful and really made the characters come to life. I did not want the story to end. I look forward to reading other books by this author and listening to other stories by this narrator. Thank you for a wonderful experience. This is one of the rare books I have read where I feel the story and characters will remain with me.

The universally complex interstice between males and females

The voice of this author was unique in describing the mundane ,and also the unusual connections between people and their awakening to themselves and their relationship to the many aspects of their personal contentment.
