Synopsis

'a must-own for hungry minds and sushi fanatics alike' - Japan Times

'Without a doubt the most definitive book I have ever read on what is now one of the world's most popular foods . . . It belongs on the bookshelf of any lover of good food.' - Ken Hom, OBE, author, chef & TV presenter

Sushi and sashimi are by now global sensations and have become perhaps the best-known of Japanese foods, but they are also the most widely misunderstood. Oishii: The History of Sushi reveals that sushi began as a fermented food with a sour taste, used as a means to preserve fish. This book, the first history of sushi in English, traces sushis development from China to Japan and then internationally, and its evolution from street food to high-class cuisine. Included are historical and original recipes that display the diversity of sushi and how to prepare it. An expert on Japanese food history, Eric C. Rath has written a must-read for understanding sushis past and how it became one of the worlds greatest cuisines.
