Super Sushi Ramen Express: One Family's Journey Through the Belly of Japan by Michael Booth

4.0

This was a great romp through Japan's underbelly of cuisine, and I mean that in a good way. The author takes an extended trip (with his two small picky eating children and his wife) through many regions of Japan, researching and eating the various cuisines of each area. Along the way he reports on history, growing methods (the wasabi section was fascinating), and the differences in taste even with the same product, e.g. ramen. It was fascinating and even though I don't like sushi or sashimi, I was tempted to give them another try.

For anyone who loves Anthony Bourdain's food explorations without the language and content--although I never really mind.
