Pretty Good Number One: An American Family Eats Tokyo by Matthew Amster-Burton

4.0

I was introduced to Matthew and his love for Japan through his hilarious podcast, Spilled Milk, which he co-hosts with Molly Wizenburg. He frequently mentions his daughter, Iris, and his love for Japan in the podcast. This book sounds exactly like he talks, witty, informal, a bit random, and full of interesting facts about food. The chapters and topics mentioned in this book are a bit disjointed, but I was able to get a fairly good picture of Japanese cuisine (mostly street food) and why he finds Japan so intriguing.
