I find the book quite good, the recipes are interesting and are good suggestions to try your own favourite ingredients. I have to say, though, that the way the book is made makes it a little too similar to a food bible. The authors try to show you the way to the "Perfect Diet", which I find a little bit "heavy". Anyway, I think it is a good book to get the grip on basic Japanese noodle cooking.

then you'll like this. The only problem is the excessive amount of ingredients that are required for this type of cooking. This obviously is no reflection on the book as it's more to do with the cooking. Everything is concisely explained, and very clearly set out; I recommend it for anyone who feels adventurous in the kitchen.

Asian Cooking Simplified?
3 July 2007
I ate at several Wagamama restaurants when I visited London. Sentimental over my trip and wanting to learn more about cooking Asian foods, I bought the cookbook. While I'm happy to report that all of the recipes I've tried in this cookbook have been very good, I only gave the cookbook a 4 star rating. Why? It's not as user friendly as it might be.
Being a North American cook, I found that many ingredients were quite difficult to identify because they were given French (or other) names in the cookbook. As a result, I e-mailed Wagamama (using their website, which encourages questions and discussion) explaining my dilemma and asking for help identifying some of the key ingredients that seemed to reappear throughout the recipes. One year later, I still haven't had the courtesy of a reply.
With the help of the world wide web, I've been able to translate some of the ingredients myself, but doing so has added to the overall time any dish requires to prepare. Some ingredients I still can't translate. Others are difficult to find in the store (although I live in a major metro area with a lot of ethnic shopping opportunities). As a result, their are several recipes I still haven't tried in the book.
On the whole, a good book, but probably not for the North American who wants to avoid researching and hunting before s/he cooks.
