Title: A Classic on my kitchen shelf up there with Julia
Review: I got this book as a wedding present (I believe i have had it for over 20 years now). The hardcover copy. It is full of cultural and gastronomical information and the recipes are clear and correct. I consider this book to be one of the greatest books on cooking in general and Japanese culture/food in particular. I continue to refer to or use it every week. If you are interested in international cultures and cuisines (as I am), this is one of the "must have" books.
