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

adventurous informative medium-paced

2.0

I almost DNF this book after reading the author describe sumo wrestlers as “fatties in diapers.” I had hoped for this book’s premise given that I wanted an overview of Japanese culture but unfortunately, this book reeks of white people’s stereotypes of Asian culture. The book covers a lot of topics and provides decent contextual information and food writing but the “jokes” that the author tries to make come off as disrespectful and rude.
