Izakaya: The Japanese Pub Cookbook (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

Japanese pubs, called izakaya, are attracting growing attention in
Japan and overseas. As a matter of fact, a recent article in The
New York Times claimed that the izakaya is starting to shove the
sushi bar off its pedestal. While Japan has many guidebooks and
cookbooks, this is the first publication in English to delve into
every aspect of a unique and vital cornerstone of Japanese food
culture.
A venue for socializing and an increasingly innovative culinary
influence, the izakaya serves mouth-watering and inexpensive
small-plate cooking, along with free-flowing drinks. Readers of
this essential book will be guided through the different styles of
establishments and recipes that make izakaya such relaxing and
appealing destinations. At the same time, they will learn to cook
many delicious standards and specialties, and discover how to
design a meal as the evening progresses.
Eight Tokyo pubs are introduced, ranging from those that serve the
traditional Japanese comfort foods such as yakitori (barbequed
chicken), to those offering highly innovative creations. Some of
them have long histories; some are more recent players on the
scene. All are quite familiar to the author, who has chosen them
for the variety they represent: from the most venerated downtown
pub to the new-style standing bar with French-influenced menu. Mark
Robinson includes knowledgeable text on the social and cultural
etiquette of visiting izakaya, so the book can used as a guide to
entering the potentially daunting world of the pub. Besides the 60
detailed recipes, he also offers descriptions of Japanese
ingredients and spices, a guide to the wide varieties of sake and
other alcoholic drinks that are served, how-to advice on menu
ordering, and much more.
For the home chef, the hungry gourmet, the food professional, this
is more than a cookbook. It is a unique peek at an important and
exciting dining and cultural phenomenon.
