"Ishige Naomichi's authoritative volume, The History and Culture of Japanese Food, with meticulous scholarship documents a historical view of origins of Japanese diet and foodways...a wealth of useful information and perspectives...the simplicity of Ishige's nigiri appeals in its organization and reliability." -- Merry I.
