🔽 Intro and review summary 🔽
✔ English journalist tavels to Japan with family
✔ His discovery of Japanese food, often unusual
✔ Insightful, travelling before the current Japan boom
★★★★☆ A great and fun book. It's also nice that although very obviously he fell in love with the food, he's not religiously admiring everything. He's British, he's composed.
🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
A great and fun book for foodies who are into Japanese food.
Of course as a Japanese, it's not like I didn't know these things but I didn't know them that deeply with all the facts, because, an average Japanese cannot have access to many things.
He travels around Japan with his wife and 2 small boys, though he'd spend a lot of time working, it is true that kids are passports to kindness from locals. So it's both travel journal and food journal.
It's also nice that although very obviously he fell in love with the food, he's not religiously admiring everything. Or too geeky or too disgusted.
He knows he had access to special places and with privileges but he's curious to know, see eat everything, what can he do? He went for it and sharing the story here.
