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.
