The Miyazawa family (father Mikio, mother Yasuko, 8 year old daughter Niina, and 6 year old son Rei) were getting ready for bed the night before ringing in the new millennium in the Tokyo suburb of Setagaya on December 30, 2000. And a man would then mysteriously break into their home and murder them one by one in cold blood. But unlike any other murderer, this unknown suspect did not do a single thing to get rid of the evidence. In fact, he left behind mounds of evidence and DNA.  Amongst the evidence left behind were the clothing he was wearing and the murder weapon. And unlike other murderers, this suspect also seemingly never murdered anyone ever again in the next 24 years. Unfortunately with 16,000 articles of logged evidence, this suspect has eluded Japan’s the 280,000 investigators who have been assigned to this case during that entire time.  This is case of the Setagaya Murders.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
