** Books 217 - 2016 **

I received a digital copy of this from Netgalley and publisher Picador in exchange for an honest review.

3,8 of 5 stars!

I am really excited and also feel relieved when i finished read this books! This is such a comprehensive books about Japan Culinary! At first, i thought read specific Japan Culinary such as Sushi and Ramen but i'm wrong since it is far away from those foods. It really broaden my knowledge there are so many things about Japan Culinary that i didn't know before!

I am really interest to try Nagashi Somen in deep of village in Kyoto. It is so unique! I never that the chef will cooked the noodles and throw it into the middle of opening bamboo and we have to catch it with our chopstik. I haven't found it in my country. It will be great experience!

The interesting one is if you wanna know more about Japan Culinary, you should read this books! I've got so many new knowledge about Sake, Sushi, Fugu's fish, Soy Sauce, Dashi, Kobe's meat, wasabi and King of Crab etc. I even gasped when i know SMAP doing cooking variety show almost twelve years!! Why i doesn't know about that before? =__=a.

Overall, This books is so enjoyable to read and it can makes you know more the deep meaning about Japan's Culinary.. I'm glad to have a chance to read this books first! ;)
