Description

Chef, sommelier, journalist, and restaurant consultant Yukari Sakamoto guides the reader through the gourmet delights of this fascinating city—from the world’s largest fish market to the Kappabashi kitchenware district.

She is a Japanese American whose insider’s view of Japanese cuisine began when she took a unique position in the depachika (epicurean food hall) on the world-renowned Takashimaya department store in Tokyo. Food Sake Tokyo demystifies the ingredients, traditional dishes, and culture surrounding all things culinary in Tokyo. Sakamoto leads the reader to the most productive food that Tokyo has to offer, explaining and sampling along the way.

You’ll learn which sushi fish are in season right through the year; where to find the most productive knives, lacquerware, pottery, and kitchen gadgets; how to make a choice sake and shochu. The guide includes full of life primers on sea vegetables and wagashi (Japanese confections), cheap eats, and dining customs, in addition to how the specialty foods of Japan are produced and prepared and the country’s unique food traditions.

For any individual interested in Japanese food, this can be a should-have lexicon of the tastes and fashions of Tokyo’s cuisine.
