『War Meals 11』 is the 11th installment of a popular series that explores the themes of history and food, set for release in the summer of the 100th year of the Showa era, marking 80 years since the end of the war. This work is set in the site of a Japanese Imperial Navy special attack base in Yunlin County, central Taiwan, and tells the story of food traditions that have been passed down since the Japanese colonial period. It also features the story of a family that ran a soy sauce workshop during the Pacific War, as well as episodes such as a young volunteer soldier who dreamed of the nomadic life of Manchurian herders and the tale of oshiruko (sweet red bean rice pudding). The series also includes stories about global rations used in wartime and the Happy New Year celebrations on the battlefield, including the touching story of mochi pounding and ozoni (New Year’s soup). These stories are carefully told, delivering both emotional depth and a message of peace. Composed entirely of short stories, this work will be released in the summer of Reiwa 7 and aims to convey the truth of history and its warmth to many people.
