Třetí z řady magicko-realistických příběhů, jejichž ohniskem se stává podivuhodná kavárna, umožňující cestování v čase. Tokijská kavárna Funiculi funicula není jediným podnikem v Japonsku, kde lze cestovat časem. V kavárně Dona dona ve městě Hakodate, kterou provozuje matka majitele tokijské kavárny Nagareho, je také možné vrátit se do minulosti nebo navštívit budoucnost. Pravidla tu platí stejná: do jiné doby můžete jen na tak dlouho, než vystydne káva. Ani tentokrát čtyři protagonisté realitu změnit nedokážou, mohou ale změnit svůj pohled na život - a tím i vlastní budoucnost. Nakladatelská anotace.
