Editorial Review:

"It was a most exquisite repast, a veritable feast of the senses." Such is the fond memory of Michael Ashkenazi and Jeanne Jacob of a late summer meal in Japan which in every taste, texture, and aesthetic detail signaled the turning of the season. Vividly describing this and countless other fine meals, The Essence of Japanese Cuisine seats the reader at a table rich in culinary tradition.

From menu arrangement to cooking techniques, course selection to entertainment styles, The Essence of Japanese Cuisine studies the Japanese meal and the historical, social, and economic principles that underpin Japanese food culture. Drawing from extensive fieldwork, surveys, and sources ranging from contemporary shop advertisements to classical writings and paintings, Ashkenazi and Jacob analyze how meals are structured, where food is prepared, where it is consumed, and what rituals and cultural rules define the art of the Japanese food event. Their personal experiences as diners serve as sensory tools for examining Japanese cuisine and its place in Japanese society, and they draw as well on Japanese and other culinary studies from such writers as Goody, Harris, Brillat-Savarin, Fisher, Ishige, and Mennell. The book concludes by assessing some of the lessons that can be learned from the Japanese dining experience, especially as Japanese cuisine takes its place among world foods.

Editorial Review:

Americans are familiarizing themselves with Japanese food, thanks especially sushi's wild popularity and ready availability. This timely book satisfies the new interest and taste for Japanese food, providing a host of knowledge on the foodstuffs, cooking styles, utensils, aesthetics, meals, etiquette, nutrition, and much more. Students and general readers are offered a holistic framing of the food in historical and cultural contexts. Recipes for both the novice and sophisticated cook complement the narrative. Japan's unique attitude toward food extends from the religious to the seasonal. This book offers a contextual framework for the Japanese food culture and relates Japan's history and geography to food. An exhaustive description of ingredients, beverages, sweets, and food sources is a boon to anyone exploring Japanese cuisine in the kitchen. The Japanese style of cooking, typical meals, holiday fare, and rituals--so different from Americans'--are engagingly presented and accessible to a wide audience. A timeline, glossary, resource guide, and illustrations make this a one-stop reference for Japanese food culture.

Great book - really informative 5 out of 5 stars.
37 of 40 people found this review helpful.

This book is a great introduction to Japanese cooking. It covers everything from sushi to noodles to soup. If you want to learn about what kind of plates to serve dinner on, look here. There's even information about how to hold your chopsticks. I was so inspired I went out, bought the ingredients, and made dinner out of the book the first night I had it.

Editorial Review:

The acclaimed book that demystified Japanese cuisine for home cooks returns with a newly designed cover as lovely as the photo presentations within. Over 90 exquisite recipes cover every aspect of modern Japanese meals from elaborate kaiseki dinners--to simply prepared noodle bowls for a casual family supper. The dozens of step-by-step technique illustrations make preparing even the most complicated dishes as easy as ichi, ni, san. Vibrant color photographs take fans of Japanese cookery on a culinary tour of the country , exploring the feasts and festivals, restaurants, sushi bars, street stalls, and even the temples for a taste of this intriguing land. Along the way discover why, as a result of their diet, the Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Itadaki masu! Enjoy.

In her groundbreaking book, Kimiko Barber presents 100 essential ingredients, from the more familiar, such as soba (noodles) and nori (seaweed), to the more unusual umeboshi (pickled plums) and fu (pretty, colored gluten sponge cakes). Through informative prose, beautiful food photography and images of real people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, The Japanese Kitchen tells the full story behind Japanese cuisine and makes it both inviting and accessible to all.

An outstanding collection of recipes for comfort foods 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This outstanding collection of recipes for comfort foods and meals eaten in typical Japanese households provides a wide variety of rice bowls, main dishes and soups which require access to a well-stocked Japanese market, but which avoid some of the more complicated restaurant dishes of competing titles. Japanese Home Cooking is a truly excellent, very highly recommended, basic introduction which includes a peppering of black and white photos of completed dishes.

Editorial Review:

With its emphasis on fresh seafood and vegetables, Japanese cuisine is very healthy and is gaining popularity throughout worldwide. Among these 100 recipes are all varieties of sushi and miso soups, along with other specialities like 'Sukiyaki', 'Cold Somen with Ham and Veggies', 'Tofu Steak with Mushroom' and 'Squid and Daikon'.
