101 flavors of Japan - Gourmet travel to the country of the Rising Sun (Hardcover)

Customer Review

No recipes in this book, the flavors of the title are emblematic ingredients of Japanese cuisine.
It can be eaten in several ways:
- As a practical guide to identify and select the ingredients: you have a recipe book and you look dashi? kombu? mirin? This book tells you what it is, where to find it and at what price.
- As a book discovery because beyond the presentations, each of these "flavors" is accompanied by history (s) and anecdotes.

And flavors presented are varied: from algae mushrooms, vegetables sweets, tea, beer, pasta, fish ...
Through the flavors, we discover a Japan by its culinary bases, allowing to approach a little philosophy, good manners, history as of geography and everyday Japan which avoids clichés.

My only regret:
- Address the lack of Japanese grocery stores. Several online stores are cited, they are often more expensive and adds the postage.
- Too many drinks. The "liquid flavors" (teas, sodas, various alcohols ...) represent approximately 40% of subjects. This is a personal preference, but I find the "solid" ingredients more interesting.
