Matt Goulding — Rice, Noodle, Fish
Wow, superb book for foodies indeed! My kind of book: only describing the food makes you longing for it and hungrier by the words! Matt Goulding and his team succeeded to detailing most of the food in Japan, per region and per category.
Superb story telling, Goulding brought us to tales of history, legacy, artisan, and culture — all revolves around Japanese food and region. It gives a fairly completed overview on what and which cuisine would you get in case of hunting the best of each Japan region.
And as I said, this is one of the books that describes food at its best, so brace yourself for hunger every time you finished a passage.
