世界に伝えたい日本のごはん(イラスト&英語でガイド)

Here is an Award-winning illustrated book on Washoku, Japanese Food.
Japanese cuisine—which has evolved uniquely within the East Asian culinary sphere—blends with Western and Chinese cuisines adapted to Japanese tastes, creating a rich culinary culture rare even on a global scale.

With its distinctive origins, it offers variety and mystery that astonish people worldwide. Japanese cuisine is “Cool Japan’s Amazing Food.” Even Japanese people often struggle to give a clear answer when asked about it. This book provides illustrated explanations in English—answering questions while sharing the cool, intriguing knowledge and delicious flavors of Washoku with foreign readers. 

In addition to classic topics like sushi and rice, it offers in-depth coverage of subjects that people “think they can explain in English but actually can’t,” such as fermented foods, the differences in flavors between the Kansai and Kanto regions, and food tourism.
On June 4, 2022, it was selected as the top Japanese entry in the Easy Recipes category at the “9th World Gourmet Cookbook Awards” held in Sweden.
