Contributors include Thomas Frebel, Sean Brock, Andoni Luis Aduriz, Fuchsia Dunlop, Yoshihiro Takahashi, Yukiko Matsuoka, and Michiko Kon. Features address Japanese microseasons, the French-Japanese connection. kaiseki, naturally fermented sake, soba noodle mastery, and Japanese home cooking. Riveting photography throughout makes the reading experience extra engaging.
