(11/21/07) Ah, sake. This rice wine has been around for thousands of years, and is part of many traditions in Japan. As Japanese food styles have become popular across the globe, so has this fine drink, which can be served both warm and cold. To learn more about the history of sake, and to learn how to choose a good brand, this book is invaluable. To start with, The Sake Handbook goes over each step involved in making sake. Reading through the intricate processes involved helps you understand why there are so many varieties of sake, and why each one has a different flavor. One key step, for example, is the polishing step. The inner part of the rice generally is of higher quality than the outer portion, so the more 'extra' that is polished away, the finer the sake. Next, Gauntner goes over the various types of sake, and how each is unique. Some of these terms are: * Junmai-shu is pure rice sake. Only rice, water, and the koji mold are used to produce this top level sake. It ends up tasting heavier...See less

(11/21/07) 55 of 56 people found the following review helpful: By A Customer It is unique in a field that is not well documented in the English language. The main body is a Japanese-English dictionary of Japanese foodstuffs. Entries go: Japanese name in romaji (Roman alphabet), kana, kanji, (Chinese characters), then the English translation, then any scientific name. Each definition is several lines long, including details of preparation, culinary uses, and cultural, regional and seasonal notes. The book is profusely cross-referenced and illustrated in black and white. There is an Engish-Japanese glossary at the back and seventeen appendices covering key items such as katsuobushi, miso, Buddhist vegetarian cuisine and so on in greater detail. This is not a cookbook, there are no recipes or instructions. Rather, it is a treasure-chest of culinary detail, illuminating a great deal that was previously hidden. The Japanese cuisine is vast and varied, but largely mysterious and unknown outside Japan,...See less

(11/21/07) I am an American currently living in Japan and have grown very fond of the Japanese cuisine. I take Japanese cooking classes and have found that the techniques I have learned are included in this book both in description and in easy to follow pictures. A great reference when I can't quite remember what the next step is. I have found that I can duplicate some of my favorite meals with this book. The recipes are easy to follow. The directions are as simple as they can be. The breakdown of recipes includes seasonal recipes as well as categories such as deep-fried dishes, steamed dishes, broiled dishes, sashimi, one pot dishes, rice and noodle dishes, and soups. There are also some very useful photos of the equipment used to prepare the dishes. In this book you will find that they go beyond many cookbooks by providing information and pictures on table settings and manners for eating Japanese foods. To sum things up - simple easy to follow recipes, GREAT pictures showing techniques and...See less

(11/21/07) Before I became entranced by Japanese cuisine I had no idea how much pickles were a part of the experience. Since I've begun my education into Japanese food, I have been stunned by the sheer variety of tsukemono. I made one of the quick cabbage pickles, which took about twenty minutes to have the best crisp, salty pickled cabbage I have ever eaten. I stood in the kitchen and ate it all! It was so delicious that I set about to make as many pickles as I could from the book. All of them have been successful and tasty. I have impressed friends and family with my tsukemono - we eat them with everything - not just Japanese food. They make great accompaniment to picnic food and are perfect for bento box lunches. This full color book is exquisite with photos for every recipe and photos on preparation too. I am so happy this was my first book on tsukemono, I am addicted!

(11/21/07) This is not just a great Japanese cookbook. It is a great cookbook in general. Not content to merely compile a series of recipes, Shizuo Tsuji adds descriptions of cooking techniques unique to Japanese food, insight into Japanese culture, and more importantly he imparts valuable knowledge on how to understand and appreciate Japanese cuisine. He divides the book into two parts. The first part begins with a discussion on how meals are prepared and composed. Then he explains ingredients, tools, and techniques that are frequently used in the book. He ends part one with recipes that are intended to be a basic introduction to various types of Japanese food (each "type" employs different methods of preparation and cooking, such as frying, steaming, etc.) The recipes are traditional Japanese meals that you would encounter if you went to Japan. Part two is all recipes, again divided into the same types that part one is divided into. However, these are slightly more complex and they build on the...See less

(11/21/07) The book is beautifully photographed, and the menus are wonderful. The recipes are, for the most part, simple to follow. However, as the other reviewers have mentioned, this is not necessarily a Japanese cookbook, and the recipes are not of the sort I was looking for, meaning meals to be packed into a bento box and taken for lunch. I bought it via an online auction site for less than half the going price, including shipping, and I feel that it is definitely worth that, but absolutely no more. One very nice part of the book, however, is that it groups foods together by menu, and gives you a good idea of what contrasts with, or works well with other foods. Very interesting. Enjoy!

(11/02/07) From Publishers Weekly Following up on the inspirational messages of his earlier books (Small Graces, etc.), Minnesota writer and sculptor Nerburn shares the lessons he has absorbed through ordinary experiences. Whether listening to bird calls on a trip to Oxford, England; observing a man without legs in a wheelchair flying a kite"; or engaged in conversation with an elderly man in a gym locker room, the author feels the presence of God in every encounter. Nerburn's gentle spirituality and strong religious faith carry him through the many difficult moments he shares. When an adolescent asks him for change for something to eat, the author overcomes his initial resistance by recalling the gospel passage, "I was hungry and you gave me to eat." Although Nerburn initially waves away the beggar's thanks, he comes to realize that it is important for him to accept in return. As the only white person at a Native American funeral for a former student killed in an accident, the author becomes...See less
