Learn to cook authentic Japanese dishes with ease. Hi, my name is Gakusha Takeshi. I was born Yokohama, Japan and I have been cooking for restaurants around the world for almost 15 years. My aim with this book is to introduce people to the art of cooking Japanese cuisine using simple and easily prepared dishes. Japan cuisine is very special as it has been influenced by foods all around Asia, but it has been refined and perfected in Japan, giving it it's own unique style. Learning how to cook foreign cuisine is a lot like learning a foreign language and it may feel daunting at first, using ingredients you've never heard of before, but with time and practice it will become like second nature. This book is here to guide you step-by-step, with easy to make, authentic Japanese recipes.
