About the book: Indispensable Japanese pantry dishes from Emiko Davies, author of Gohan: Everyday Japanese Cooking.
In The Japanese Pantry, each chapter explores one of these essential ingredients—soy sauce, miso, rice vinegar, seaweed, sake, sesame, and tea—including information about the history and production of these in Japan, as well as Davies’s thoughtful and approachable recipes. In helping readers get to know these pantry essentials, Davies hopes to give home cooks the confidence to make authentic Japanese dishes that are inherently simple and full of flavor.
