Summary: Informative, entertaining, and a must-have
Comment: I have been searching a long time for a comprehensive book on Japanese cooking because I grew up with a mother who was a fantastic cook. Unfortunately, she never used recipes or measuring devices, so I have been struggling to duplicate the many delicious dishes of my childhood to no avail. This book is the answer to my quest. The recipes are very authentic, and the author talks about the history of the various recipes and cooking techniques. This enhances the enjoyment of the beautiful cuisine. I feel like I am back home in Mom's kitchen!

Summary: Tsuji is one of the greats of contemporary Japanese cuisine.
Comment: I have read this book and also used Tsuji's Japanese books -- he is heir to the light flavors and elegant presentation of west Japan (think Kyoto) food, but he makes it all his own in terms of practicality and modern appeal. His recipes stand out because they are classic, not faddy; because Tsuji will always tell you the best and the simplest way; and because you can be sure he has thought about every aspect, he isn't just parroting the past -- the attitudes in this cookbook should extend to improving your cooking in any field.

Summary: comprehensive
Comment: I found this book a bit dry... It seems to be some history/some cooking which i usually like alot. But the writing didnt seem to have a spark to me... it read more like a text book. a school book, maybe. i read it through but i didnt find myself enjoying the experience as much as i would have liked to. The recipes seemed authentic and looked good but i wasnt *excited* enoguh by the book to try them...i can see using this more as a reference..others may feel different tho
