Publisher's Summary
Japan is arguably the preeminent food nation on earth, a Mecca for the world's greatest chefs, with more Michelin stars than any other country. The Japanese go to extraordinary lengths and expense to eat food that is marked both by its exquisite preparation and exotic content. Their creativity, dedication, and courage in the face of dishes such as cod sperm and octopus ice cream is only now beginning to be fully appreciated in the sushi and ramen-saturated West.
Food and travel writer Michael Booth takes the culinary pulse of contemporary Japan, learning fascinating tips and recipes that few westerners have been privy to before. Accompanied by two fussy eaters under the age of six, he and his wife travel the length of the country, from bear-infested, beer-loving Hokkaido to snake-infested, seaweed-loving Okinawa. Along the way, they dine with - and score a surprising victory over - sumo wrestlers; share a seaside lunch with free-diving, female abalone hunters; and meet the greatest chefs working in Japan today. Less happily, they witness a mass fugu slaughter, are traumatized by an encounter with giant crabs, and attempt a calamitous cooking demonstration for the lunching ladies of Kyoto.

A spiritual journey into food
I felt reading this book as if I was there along side our host journeying through the land of the rising sun, each food and experience described in such detail that I want to on my own trip do as much as I can ij the way of Japanese cuisine. I do wonder if the author returned to Japan and how his experience differed from his previous journey. And well this made me view food writing in a whole new way

Brings me right back there…
This book has the perfect amount of detail, at the perfect speed, touching upon all the key places necessary to bring a person who is familiar with Japan back to this beautiful place, yet at the same time… Allows new Japanophiles to learn and enjoy. Will be listening to it again very soon…
