Before We Say Goodbye
The fourth novel in the internationally bestselling Before the Coffee Gets Cold Series.
The regulars at the magical Café Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend and extraordinary time-travel offer. Many patrons have reunited with old flames, made amends with estranged family and visited loved ones. But the journey is not without risks, and there are rules to follow.
In the tradition of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold Series, readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors: the husband with something important left to say; the woman who couldn't bid her dog farewell; the woman who couldn't answer a proposal; and the daughter who drove her father away.
Featuring signature heartwarming characters and wistful storytelling, in the beautifully haunting Before We Say Goodbye, Kawaguchi asks: Who would you visit if you could travel through time?

Cozy Pairings
Voodoo is a rich and inviting fragrance built around the depth of freshly brewed coffee, softened with the natural sweetness of sugar cane. Warm and slightly indulgent, this scent blends bold, roasted notes with a smooth, lingering sweetness that feels both energizing and comforting. Subtle and atmospheric, it carries a hint of something more, adding a layer of intrigue that makes the fragrance feel warm, familiar, and just a little bit magical.
Why we chose this: In a small Tokyo café that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years, four customers at a time are given the chance to travel back in time, for as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold. These are quiet, aching, deeply human stories about what we would say if we had one more chance, and what we carry when we do not. Voodoo carries the warm, roasted depth of a series where a single cup of coffee holds more meaning than most people will ever find in a lifetime, rich and sweet and alive with something that feels like the particular magic of a place that has been quietly changing people for generations. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle before you sit down with one of these stories, and let the warmth fill the room like a café on a quiet afternoon, where the coffee is always exactly right and the time you have left to drink it is the only thing that matters.
