"This book is for anyone interested in Japanese cuisine, from those encountering it for the first time to those who have eaten and perhaps misunderstood it for years, ... a book that eliminates the mystery, explains the nuances, and reveals the wonders of Japanese food. Each entry in the Japanese-English section includes the Japanese term in Roman script, the term in kana or kanji or both, a Latin name where appropriate, and English definition, and for most entries, a short annotation. The English-Japanese section defines important English food terms in Japanese and annotates those needing explanation"--Cover.;Japanese-English -- English-Japanese -- Appendices.
