The best selling and most beloved food manga of all time!
As part of the celebrations for its 100th anniversary, the publishers of the Tozai News have commissioned the creation of the Ultimate Menu, a model meal embodying the pinnacle of Japanese cuisine. This all-important task has been entrusted to journalist Yamaoka Shiro, an inveterate cynic who possesses no initiative–but also an incredibly refined palate and an encyclopedic knowledge of food.
Japanese Cuisine introduces us to the fundamental ingredients–rice, sashimi, green tea, and dashi (cooking stock)–that constitute the soul of the Japanese kitchen. In each story we learn about the proper preparation and presentation of different dishes, as well as their history and cultural significance. The result is a moveable feast of a book, as informative as it is engaging.
Image and Condition Note – We typically have multiple copies of the titles we sell. Whether using a stock or our own image, shipped books are usually not the actual book pictured and are a representation of the title and condition. We feel strongly that the shipped book will match the condition in our guideline. We buy books directly from publishers and authorized secondary distributors. The majority of our books are unsold returns from retailers to distributors and have never been purchased by an end consumer. We don’t buy books from thrift stores or library sales to resell. All of our books are stored in commercial warehousing in a smoke and pet-free environment.
