美食家梶井真奈子(Manako Kajii)被指控以手作料理誘惑孤獨的商務人士,並連續殺害多名受害者。如今,她在東京拘留中心服刑,成為全國關注的焦點。然而,她拒絕接受訪問,也不接見任何人——直到記者町田梨香(Rika Machida)寫信向她索取燉牛肉的食譜,她終於回信了。
町田是新聞社唯一的女性記者,日夜加班,平時只會煮速食拉麵。當她與冷漠而神秘的梶井展開訪談,每次見面都像是一場美食大師課,而非單純的調查報導。町田希望透過這場味覺交流打開梶井的心扉,卻發現自己的內心正在悄然改變——隨著一道道料理進入胃中,她的身體與靈魂似乎正在甦醒。她開始思考,自己與梶井之間,真的有著不可逾越的界線嗎?

'I have been glued to Asako Yuzuki's new novel Butter’ NIGEL SLATER
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, and translated by Polly Barton.
There are two things that I can simply not tolerate: feminists and margarine.
Gourmet cook Manako Kajii sits in Tokyo Detention Centre convicted of the serial murders of lonely businessmen, who 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 masterclass in food than journalistic research. Rika hopes this gastronomic exchange will help her soften Kajii but it seems that she might be the one changing. With each meal she eats, something is awakening in her body, might she and Kaji have more in common than she once thought?
Inspired by the real case of the 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.
