'The next Bill Bryson.' New York Times Food and travel writer
Michael Booth and his family embark on an epic journey the length
of Japan to explore its dazzling food culture. They find a country
much altered since their previous visit ten years earlier (which
resulted in the award-winning international bestseller Sushi and
Beyond). Over the last decade the country's restaurants have won a
record number of Michelin stars and its cuisine was awarded United
Nations heritage status. The world's top chefs now flock to learn
more about the extraordinary dedication of Japan's food artisans,
while the country's fast foods - ramen, sushi and yakitori - have
conquered the world. As well as the plaudits, Japan is also facing
enormous challenges. Ironically, as Booth discovers, the future of
Japan's culinary heritage is under threat. Often venturing far off
the beaten track, the author and his family discover intriguing
future food trends and meet a fascinating cast of food heroes, from
a couple lavishing love on rotten fish, to a chef who literally
sacrificed a limb in pursuit of the ultimate bowl of ramen, and a
farmer who has dedicated his life to growing the finest rice in the
world... in the shadow of Fukushima.
