Japan, the island kingdom of temples, shrines, and teahouses, also has the most modern electronics industry in the world. Japanese cuisine also offers many contrasts. Even though fast food outlets now abound in Japan, its culinary culture is still dominated by ancient traditions. Now two expert Japanese chefs take you on a journey through this fascinating land and its rich cooking traditions. An abundance of authentic and original recipes are provided with detailed, step-by-step instructions. Gorgeous, full-color photos illustrate not only the recipes, but also the chapters on the people, festivals, and regional life. Recipe variations and drink suggestions are included, as well as instruction in planning a complete menu.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Okay for beginners, Not very special otherwise,
By
This review is from: Cuisines of the World: Japan (Hardcover)
I didn't like this book very much. It has a couple of interesting recipes but that is about it. I would have given two stars based on just on my own taste but, in fairness, I thought it deserved three stars as it is probably a decent enough book for beginners and those without many other books on Japanese cuisine. There is a fairly well written 25 page introduction to Japanese food and culture at the beginning of the book and it is fairly nicely illustrated with color photographs. The range of recipes is not bad and most of the recipes are fairly easy to follow.
