The Illustrated Dictionary of Japanese Food helps food lovers around the world understand all the intricacies and nuances of Japanese food ingredients and culture. Definitions of Japanese food terms found online and in standard dictionaries are misleading and often simply wrong. Richard Hosking eliminates this problem by giving each term a concise English definition with rich cultural and historical notes.

This new and expanded edition has 320 color photographs along with black and white drawings for easy identification. These allow readers to identify everything from abura-age fried tofu to zeusai red-bean soup. A series of fascinating appendices address critical elements of Japanese cuisine--from how miso and sake are made to the keycomponents of a Japanese meal.
