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

4.0

I traveled to Japan for a brief visit about 20 years ago, and just loved the country, and the food. I have wanted to go back ever since, but finances and life circumstances have not allowed that. This book was almost as good as a trip back. Part travelogue and part food writing, it is a wonderful insight into the culture and foods of various regions of Japan. And I admit to being terrible jealous of the author, who was able to visit and travel around Japan, and eat all this fabulous food, as part of his job!

Besides being a great book in general, it also makes a great commuter read, because there are many short chapters, so it is easy to pick up and have a quick read and then stow it away when the ride is over. I have always wanted to travel back to Japan, but this book made my desire to return and see more of the country become even stronger.

If you are interested in Japan or Japanese food, highly recommend this book.
