Overview
A fresh and fully illustrated guide to Japanese cuisine and culture, with 25 recipes.
In Japan, a home-cooked meal often arrives all at once: rice, soup, and small dishes to enjoy in turn. In Oishii, Osaka-born artist Yoshiko Noda explores the foods around that familiar table, sharing eating habits, ingredients, dishes, customs, recipes, and plenty of surprises. Learn why onigiri carries memories of childhood lunches, what belongs beside a bowl of white rice, and how dishes with roots abroad became Japanese comforts.
From agedashi to zenzai, this playfully illustrated notebook opens the door to Japanese food through the small pleasures of cooking, sharing, and eating it.
