    Hmm...
  

*by P***I on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2019*

Going to try this book soon. Most recipes look super easy, but they do all include of mainly sake, mirin, and rice vinegar. I read a few reviews saying that it is bland, but I feel like most Japanese food aside from the typical hibachi and rolls are bland in flavor in general making it feel healthier in taste.Also, there are measurements in oz. versus cups and spoons. This can all be solve if you can invest in a kitchen scare that weighs both in lbs/oz and grams with a TARE setting. They aren’t that expensive, & you’ll never have to worry about wasting time googling and converting anything dealing with those measurements again. If you’re going to be cooking a lot, it should be on your must have list.Update 7/4/19: sirloin with miso marinade was absolutely disgusting, but that can be user error. I replaced sake with rice vinegar, but forgot to dilute it 1/3 part water. Also the soy sauce I use was Maggi, but she did suggested using a authentic Japanese soy sauce. I might try this again, but using Ohsawa soy sauce and diluting the rice vinegar with water or just suck it through with sake. That being said- her book doesn’t include a prep time, cook time, & marinade time. You have to read it to get the times/ idea on how long all will take.Update: 7/5/2019 Okay, the Yakitori was excellent!!!  This time I used Japanese soy sauce (by Ohsawa) & Mirin (by Eden). There was no sake involve, so I didn’t have to worry about that. Officially the best yakitori in town here. I completely skipped/forgot the salt and pepper, but it really didn’t need it at all. However, you can’t find chicken thighs with skin and no bones here. So, I bought chicken thighs and took the bones out to the best that I can, and resumed with the recipe. The recipe told us to pan fried it, but said you can either barbecued them (which she did in photos) or broiled them. I opted to broiled them, because it’s too darn hot outside. That being said, she doesn’t tell you the time to cook them in either method or that you will need to flip them halfway.. So, I watched it browned/a little burnt especially the leek, & then flipped them for the same outcome.

    Harumi cookbooks are the best guide to Japanese cooking
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2022*

I have three Harumi cookbooks, Harumi’s Japanese Home cooking (my favorite), Harumi’s Japanese cooking and Everday Harumi. Each book offers new recipes that are delicious, nutritious and easy to follow. I bought this book for my son for Christmas so I haven’t tried the recipes in this particular book. For a first choice, I recommend Harumi’s Japanese Home Cooking.

    One of the Best cookbooks I own, let alone best japanese cookbook
  

*by N***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2010*

I bought this book off a recommendation in Saveur magazine.  I have always been hesitant of reaching out to Japanese books because of their need for fairly difficult to find ingredients that don't have much place in the other types of cuisine I normally cook.  I am a big fan of Japanese food in general and have been eager to bring it home for some time.Construction:This is a very well made book.  The paper stock and print is very well done. Aesthetically its very well presented and very clear and easy to follow/understand.5/5 StarsContent:This is where this book shines. I wish I could score this thing A+++ just for the content.  The first thing this book does is break down your fear of cooking and then further remove any barriers to entry to Japanese food in general by going over the base ingredients you will need.  The thing that's attractive here is that there are alternatives suggested to items so that if you cant find something or don't want to purchase it for a one off recipe there is a suitable alternative suggested.  Very very cool.  The next part of book that is amazing is the fact that the recipes are all everyday cooking recipes so they are not too involved.  This translates to delicately crafted dishes that are not heavy on ingredients so if you were to stock a couple of the base ingredients Harumi recommends you are able to make a large number of dishes in this book.  Cant ask for better let me tell you!5/5 StarsOverall:This is a no brainer, this is 5 star over and over again. This is a cornerstone book for anybody who wants to try their hand at Japanese food or even for those that want to take their skills one step further.  Harumi is considered Japans Julia Child and this book tells you why.  She has demystified Japanese cooking and made it accessible to the masses.5/5 Stars
