要求特別多的餐廳
我們即使不能盡情擁有冰糖，
亦可品嘗澄澈的清風，啜飲粉桃色的絢麗晨光。
我的這些故事，全是在森林、原野及鐵軌邊，從彩虹與月光得來的。
「我真心期盼，這些小故事中或有隻字片語，能夠成為您真正的精神食糧。」──宮澤賢治
《要求特別多的餐廳》是宮澤賢治生前少數出版的童話集，與〈銀河鐵道之夜〉並列為宮澤賢治最著名的代表作。在廣闊的原野之上，有著挺著滾圓肚子的山貓、祈禱和平的烏鴉艦隊，還有出沒在滑床山的熊……本書收錄18篇天馬行空的故事，時有撫慰人心的溫暖、善待萬物的慈懷，也有暗喻人性與現實的諷刺，藉以探討生死、善惡、文明社會的殘酷等。宮澤賢治將樸實而真摯的信念寄託筆尖，洗滌內心的不安與煩憂，最終期盼每個人都能再次築出一片屬於自己的理想烏托邦。
「當全世界的人都幸福的時候，才會有個人的幸福。」
撫慰無數寂然人心，最受日本人喜愛的國民作家──宮澤賢治
★〈橡子與山貓〉──經典動畫《龍貓》天然呆原形
宮崎駿：「宮澤賢治的童話故事裡面，我最喜歡〈橡子與山貓〉。巨大山貓呆呆站著遙視彼方，腳邊的小橡果嘎吱嘎吱作響的轉圈滾動著……是我心目中的山貓形象。只要想到山貓出神呆立的模樣，我就很喜歡故事中所描述的那個世界。身為一位創作者，他展現了豐富的表現力……宮澤賢治始終是在我前面引導方向的那個人。」

Miyazawa Kenji, a Japanese poet, writer, devout buddhist, and humanitarian left us with a collection of poems and short stories when he died prematurely at a young age. The Restaurant of Many Orders is a children's story with an universally important message. It teaches a respect for the natural world as the key to live happily and harmoniously.
The story is about two hunters in the mountains looking for game. When suddenly they are left freezing in the wind and without their trusted dogs who have died without reason. They come across a mysterious restaurant. Having gone the day without food, they enter expectantly to satisfy their hunger. However, there is no one to seat them, only a door, and next to it a sign with instructions. They hastily follow the instructions only to find another door and more instructions. Eventually, they come to realize that they will not be the ones doing the eating, but rather the ones who will be eaten, and ironically by animals. Fortunately, they are saved when their faithful dogs, alive again, come crashing into the kitchen to frighten off the animals.
The title of this book and one of the signs inside the restaurant reads, "Resturant of many orders", which is a play on words. The two hunters think that the restaurant has a wide selection of dishes on the menu. Of course, we know that "many orders" means something quite the opposite. Because this book is primarily intended for children I recommend it for Miyazawa admirers or readers who love children's stories.

Considering it was written for children, I think it is fair to say that the story has the potential to be quite charming, especially, I imagine, if it is read in picture book form. Unfortunately I was reading it through the lens of a normal short story for adults and so I found it to be slightly predictable and less shocking than I initially anticipated.

This is an enjoyable little story. I don't know if you're supposed to laugh but i did. I guess it was also supposed to be inspirational or that's what i gathered from reading about it. But that seems to have been lost in translation as it's not the vibe i got while reading it. Highly recommend it to everyone.

In the classic bent of a Twilight Zone episode, two hunters get lost in a wood, and stumble upon a mysterious restaurant. It's a fun story, and much shorter than I would have imagined. Miyazaki led me here, so expect some whimsy with a dash of horror.

“It's no good. They've worked it out. I don't think they are going to rub in the salt.”
bahahahaha. this one was clever. a whimsical children’s comedy-horror tale that evades any potentially gruesome endings.

мені було дуже приємно знайти такий якісний український переклад міядзави, сподіваюся, це стане частішою практикою для наших видавництв! дуже дякую кальварії за можливість доторкнутися до цих коротких оповідань!

нижче додаю записи, які робила протягом прочитання (спойлери):
болотяник і лис: 2\5 ну таке якесь, символічна гетеро треуголка
веселик і жоржини: 2\5 ватахел алюзія на згв@лтування ??? 0_0 дивно коротко і неприємно не знаюю
віолончеліст гош: 4\5 чарівно! праця і терпіння, практика, завзяття! нагадування, що будь-чому можна себе навчити! оооооо! я теж так хочу!!!
ведмеді з гори наметоко: 3\5 нейтрал я навіть не знаю. цикл життя та смерті, віддачі і прийняття енергії
нерет Індри: 4\5 чарівний сон у зоряну ніч, магія, божественне проведіння уяви, дуже приємне, ніжне мов весняний вітер
тюльпани-чародії: 3\5… толіки вилекали по чарці на роботі, та хай їм грець, аби тіки не буянили
ресторан, де виконують побажання: 5\5 зірочка, іменем якої названа ця чарівна збірка. дуууже подобається. архетип хитрого кота, зникаючоі будови, загадкова писанина на табличках, тупість мужиків-мужланів, ну все самий смак, вершки та й сіль, сіль та й вершки… так би й з`їла.
лісовий кіт і жолуді: можливо найулюбленіша моя історія тут. 10\10. дуже приємна дуже сподобалася, подарувала усмішку на обличчя. мій улюблений вид розповідей
ґадольфові лілеї: 3.5/5 свято натуралізму!
зірка нічний сокіл: 4/5 створення зірок
кипарис і маки: нейтральчик фольклорчик натуралізм дуже класично відносно того що і як любить цей автор

As a result of crying my way through
Father of the Milky Way Railroad
at the Japanese Film Festival last week, I had the urge to read the stories of Miyazawa Kenji. Unfortunately our city library doesn't carry any of his books, but this one is in the public domain and available on Aozora Bunko.
First, in terms of enjoyability, I always appreciate a good pun. The premise of this story is essentially built around one massive pun and it relies on the reader slowly making that realisation. The characters are a bit silly and the plot resolves itself rather too neatly, but all in all I enjoyed the simplicity of the narrative for what it was.
In terms of language learning, Miyazawa wrote at the turn of the century so this story uses an older style of Japanese that might be a bit challenging to decipher. On the other hand, if you want to see the features mentioned in these three articles in action, it's a lot of fun. I personally enjoy linguistics, so I found it fascinating comparing some of the more antiquated forms of expression with what you might find in more modern Japanese.
The film I went to see included excerpts from some of his stories and emphasised his use of onomatopoeia, which is extensive even by Japanese standards apparently.
There were some lovely turns of phrase: 「風がどうと吹いてきて、草はざわざわ、木の葉はかさかさ、木はごとんごとんと鳴りました。」-- translated naturally into English we might say "the grass swished and the leaves rustled", but more literally Miyazawa writes, "The wind blew in douto-ly, The grass rang out zawazawa, the leaves rang out kasakasa, the trees rang out gotongoton". Oof, what an active sentence! Even just the choice of verb 鳴る / to ring out builds on the cacophony of sound created here. This phrase is used twice: at the start before the madness and we return to this line at the end, making for an evocative bookend.

I snagged this book, "The Restaurant of Many Orders," at the book fair this summer in its Chinese version. It's a bunch of short fairy tales, and one of them, "The Restaurant of Many Orders," is a wild ride. Picture two soldiers having an adventure in the wild, ending up in front of this random restaurant in the middle of nowhere.
But heads up, these stories are a bit out there—like, bizarre, weird, and not always making sense. But here's the twist—they're trying to drop some wisdom on you, kind of like sneaky moral lessons.
I found it interesting, you know, with all its quirks. If you're in the mood for something short and sweet, or maybe just not ready to commit to a big book, this one's a cool pick. Quick, to the point, and a bit quirky—just what the reading doctor ordered.

Яка ж ця збірка прекрасна. Такі дитячі, але й водночас не дитячі історії. А які тут красиві описи природи - читаєш та уявляєш картинку з фільмів Хаяо Міядзакі. Я аж розтягнув задоволення на кілька вечорів, хоч самих казок тут не так вже й багато.
Неймовірними є і ілюстрації в стилі суміе від Неоніли Єфімової, та акварельні доповнення від Михайла Євшина.
Видавництво "Кальварія" видало прекрасну книгу, котра претендує стати улюбленою не лише в поціновувачів японської культури.

Este libro contiene cinco cuentos muy lindos, todos relacionados con el respeto a la naturaleza y con un toque de misticismo oriental. El que da título al libro es divertido, pero el último me hizo llorar porque GATO.

Penceritaannya sangat menarik, cuma aku tak dapat menghayati sebab baca buku asalnya yang bertulisan Jepun. Agak lama nak cari buku ni di kedai, tapi tak jumpa-jumpa lagi. Baca bertulisan Jepun pun melalui ebuku arkib.
Andai dapat buku yang dah diterjemah ke Bahasa Inggeris, aku akan baca semula.

I love the title.
The story just feels like fairy tale to me, and I couldn't grasp the moral value. Maybe it's basically "do not enter into a restaurant in the middle of the wood" or something 😂
Anyway it's a nice short story.

From the author of the classic Night on the Galactic Railway.
Two hunters lost in the forest stumble on a mysterious restaurant which promises them comfort and a delicious meal -- if they just follow all the odd and strict rules. What will become of them?

薦められたのでよみましたが、まあまあ良かったかな。星新一のSF短編集に似てたが、主にファンタジーでした。岩手県のストリーがほとんど、方言もう使われていて、中々面白かった。

Intriguing and eccentric. I think I'll be reading more Miyazawa
July 18, 2020
A pretty interesting story!
February 25, 2021
Honestly a really challenging read. Had to look up more words than I would like to admit, but in this collection of short stories Miyazawa really beautifully and nostalgically brings nature alive.

Hm, I thought it would be a lot more interesting.

I quite liked this story it is a fun spin on the restaurant idea.

It probably works much better as a children's story, especially if read in picture book form. Reading it as an adult, I was rather underwhelmed.

Nice short read, kind of predictable but still see me in

Restaurant with Many Orders was a mysterious and interesting story. Two customers enter the store, surprised by the wired rules. At the end, there was an ending that made me laugh.
January 11, 2025
Why on earth is this considered a children's book? It creeped the hell out of me
September 11, 2025
I love how darkly funny, uncanny, and creepy this short story is. it feels both like a creepy pasta story and comedy sketch at the same time.

As someone who loathes hunters and hunting, I found this story...deliciously odd. :) It satisfied my hunger for justice.
