First Sentence
As we approach the sushi shop, it is a good time to think briefly about this representative Japanese food, for isn't it true that the better we understand the things we eat and the ways they are prepared, the more we appreciate them? Read the first page

Format:Paperback
I wanted a book that would help me understand the difference between ordinary sushi (which is all over the place here) and great sushi. After reading this book, you'll know enough about sushi to at least recognize what you're about to eat, and what to do when in a sushi restaurant.

Despite working in Tokyo for one month I only sampled Sushi the day before I came home - and loved it!!! In England there are few Sushi bars and most are prohibitively expensive. This book provides an excellent insight into Sushi culture and has enhanced my enjoyment of this delicacy enormously.

A Introduction to Sushi
29 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
I found this book to be a fine introduction to sushi and sushi making. Not only are the basic techniques of sushi making described, but the authors also include a wealth of information about sushi in general. Topics covered include the history of sushi, the process of obtaining fish for sushi, the etiquette of sushi eating, and much more. For those interested in simliar books, I must recommend Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art. Together these works will give a novice everything they need to know about sushi and the cooking of Japan.

Don't buy this book if you want to learn sushi preparation.
19 Mar 1997
Format:Hardcover
This is a decent book concerning sushi. There are better ones out there. I found it fairly interesting - especially information on fish markets in Japan. In general however I wasn't sure what the author's objective was? If his objective was teaching sushi preparation - he failed in my opinion. If you want a good, affordable book for basic sushi preparation, buy Nobuko Tsuda's "Sushi Made Easy"

An excellent book on sushi
28 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
This book gives a very good overview of sushi making. While all of the tools used are not available in the home kitchen, the methods can be used for home sushi. Beautiful photographs, too. I would say this book is a step above entry-level information, but that shouldn't scare the sushi-novice reader. Just buy it...
