Maki Itoh has succeeded in creating a treasure trove in her exploration of Japanese recipes and culinary traditions...Perfect for the Japanese food loving home cook. --Elise Bauer, Founder, SimplyRecipes.com

The first comprehensive cookbook to fully cover all aspects of Japanese cuisine--with 600 recipes!

This book has been a lifetime in the making. Bicultural author Makiko Itoh was born in Tokyo and grew up in New York, where her mother ran the leading Japanese restaurant for two decades. She has since developed a career as a successful bilingual food writer and translator, uniquely positioned to explain the cuisine to non-Japanese.

Her book answers all the questions foreigners typically have about one of the world's greatest cuisines, including:

  • Why is Japanese food so unique? A full overview--from umami to seasonality to aesthetics
  • Essential ingredients like miso, mirin, dashi, sake and soy--how and why they are used
  • How to design a Japanese meal--from tableware to equipment to etiquette
  • Which recipes are right for you? The 600 recipes in this book cover everything from bento boxes to nimono simmered dishes to izakaya, sushi and hotpots. But which ones should you try?
