Travel Guide

A Journey in food

Rice is an essential food for the Japanese and is not a side dish as it is in the West but is as important as the rest of the meal

Dashi – the essential base stock of Japanese culture which is used to make miso soup

The book came from the hand written books the author took from a recipe book her mother started when she was born. Growing up in Tokyo, she had parents who were passionate about food. She trawled the restaurants of the city thanks to her father and her mother made her a bento book every day.

To taste and to learn just some of the Tokyo delights from the posh restaurants to the yakitori stands and soba noodle bars in the Asakusa district, there some very nice and authentic Tokyo food to try which the author describes as a journey of the true flavours of Tokyo and Japan
