Covers all aspects of Japanese cuisine, from its history and underlying philosophy to its unique ingredients, methods of preparation and cooking techniques. Over 100 recipes show how to make well-known Japanese dishes, as well as regional specialties.

Published with a new preface, this bestseller offers an intimate glimpse into a unique female community. Liz Dalby, the only non-Japanese woman ever to have trained as a geisha, reveals the realities of geisha life.

This work traces the history of the Kimono - its designs, uses, aesthetics and social significance - and in doing so explores the world of the geisha, last wearers of the kimono.

Long acclaimed the most authoritative volume on Japanese cooking ever written in English, this is a concise and clearly written guide to the simple yet profound art of Japanese cookery. It contains over 220 traditional Japanese recipes and discussions of ingredients and kitchen utensils.

This is a guide for the lover of sushi, whether eating in restaurants or preparing it at home.
