5.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent resource!,
By Tracy "Mom of 2" (An American in Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Guide to Food Buying in Japan (Paperback)
I love this book. I live in Japan and regularly take it the store with me. It has helpful language information, packaging information and explanations of all the "foreign" things I'm looking at in the store. My book has a different cover (older edition, I assume), but it was worth every penny...and it's not cheap!

Any one new to Japan has to have this book. I don't care how old it is, it has been a life saver to say the least.
