Sushi and Beyond: What the Japanese Know About Cooking

Product Description

Explore the rich culinary landscape of Japan with Michael Booth's engaging book, which delves into the unique and adventurous aspects of Japanese cuisine. From the sushi-saturated perceptions in the West to the less familiar but equally fascinating dishes like cod sperm and octopus ice cream, Booth captures the essence of Japanese food culture. Traveling from the northern reaches of bear-infested Hokkaido to the tropical climes of snake-infested Okinawa, he and his family embark on a journey to understand why the Japanese may be the world's foremost experts on food. This narrative not only offers insights into the diverse food habits across Japan but also highlights the health benefits of the traditional Japanese diet. Awarded the Guild of Food Writers Kate Whiteman Award for the best book on food and travel, this book is a must-read for food lovers and travel enthusiasts alike.
