Japanese Soul Cooking: Ramen, Tonkatsu, Tempura, and More from the Streets and Kitchens of Tokyo and Beyond [A Cookbook]

As Described - great cook book

Some great recipes

Buen libro de culinaria japonesa

Recettes faciles à essayer chez soi et la plupart des sauces (curry, dashi, ...) sont présentée pour les réaliser à la maison donc pas besoin de se ruiner le portefeuille ou la santé avec des préparations instantanées. Très bon livres pour les débutants en cuisine japonaise comme moi !

Resistente. En cuanto al contenido, todo está muy bien explicado.

I have had this book for - *checks amazon* 11 years now and it is one of the best cool books I have ever bought. The food is delicious and, having been to Japan in the last year, I can confirm very authentic. It is also very thorough, and I have learned a lot about Japanese cooking- although I do tend to just buy dashi granules instead of making the stock via the book instructions. 10/10 would buy again.

In a nutshell, if you're looking how to cook that popular dish from the local izakaya (japanese pub eatery), then this is a good place to start. Basically this cook book has all the most popular dishes you'd find at most izakaya. If you mastered everything in this book, you would actually be able to open your own izakaya as all these dishes in this book are available at my local izakaya lol. But anyways, recipes are concise, usually 1 page with a page of pictures, which is great. It might just show you the most important parts of the recipe like how to cut a fish for frying and stuff like that, which i really like. I can list all the types of food, but it's basically this, ramen (the 3 basic styles (no tonkotsu) including shoyu egg), soba, udon (including nabeyaki), gyoza (japanese potsticker), donburi (rice bowls), japanese curries (including the famous navy curry), tempura (including kakiage (fried vegies)), karaage (lightly fried chicken/fish), japanese pasta (including uni), omu rice, chahan (fried rice), tonkatsu (pork cutlet), okonomiyake (famous osaka pancake), side dishes like japanese potato salad, hamburg steak, you get the idea, it's like the most popular dishes are in this book, there are about 4-5 recipes in all these sub sections above, but cover most of the things you've seen in izakaya type restaurants. Anyways, great book to have on the shelf when inviting friends over for some home style local japanese foods that every japanese and non japanese alike know and love.
