Summary: This book will turn you into a Japanese mother
Review: After my wife and I left San Francisco and moved to the South, one of the greatest pleasures we miss is our izakaya (sake house) where they serve authentic, home-style Japanese food. Not to be outdone, I picked up a copy of this book which had recipes of many of the dishes to which we had grown fond.

The author really does walk the reader through the fundamentals of Japanese cooking, from making rice to preparing dashi, the basic stock in many recipes. In addition, the book is loaded with helpful photographs and illustrations.

My wife has been quite pleased with the results of my efforts, thanks to this book. I recommend it highly!
