Emi Kazuko's Cafe Japan requires access to fresh seafood but produces a range of dishes and flavors which capture the Japanese dining experience. Cafe Japan is a fine introduction to Japanese cuisine, especially for beginners who already love to cook.

Easy to prepare recipes with a variety of tastes and techniques. for hard core japanese cooking look at the Tsuji cookbooks instead but these are great starter items to build on. I am an experienced japanese cook, but there were a number of items I had not seen before and so far the items I have tried are good. The japanese ingredients section is especially well done.

my wife really thinks I an cook now.
I love this book

My husband and I lived in Japan for quite awhile so I am always looking for a good cookbook to recreate my favorite tastes. This one is pretty good. Some of the recipes are merely decoration and aren't so useful for day to day cooking, so I might have only given it 3 stars. However, it has the best recipe for homemade teriyaki sauce that I have found yet, its just really lovely! So overall, a 4 for some usefulness. Some of the other recipes are decent, too!

This book is full of delicious, Japanese style cooking, some of it is even served in Japanese restaurants! It's great that I can take that home with me to share!

Cafe Japan is a Japanese cookbook with a variety of wonderful recipes. The photographs are superb and the resulting recipes delicious. Oishii desu!

I didn't realize that this book was part of a series. It's interesting, but the fact that it is part of a series doesn't lend anything to the book. It's like a franchise. The recipes are very good and the writing is unobjectionable. The art direction is a little heavy handed and the photography didn't really impress me. When I learned the book was part of a series those facets struck me as evidence that just extending the series with another title was the main thrust of this effort as opposed to a book dedicated to bento boxes. I'd look for another title first if I were you.
