Sushi and Beyond: One Family's Remarkable Journey Through the Greatest Food Nation on Earth by Michael Booth

5.0

I picked this up as a kind of prep for the Japan trip I'm doing with my friends in October, and also because I wanted to see how it'd stack up against Rice, Noodle, Fish by Matt Goulding, which I'd read and loved even before this Japan trip was even a glimmer in my friends' imagination. Tfb to Goulding, his book is weightier and has a LOT more info than Booth's, but it's also a lot more serious. Booth's book, on the other hand, is light and fun and offers some really hilarious anecdotes about what it's like traveling with kids. Wish there were more of those particular stories tbh, but it seems like Booth spent a lot of time away from his kids while writing this book. Maybe his wife ought to do a partner memoir of sorts? That'd be interesting. Still, this is a nice light read, and works well with Goulding's book as I prep myself to EAT ALL THE THINGS when I get to Japan :D.
