A compact mid-century introduction to Japanese cooking by Tatsuji Tada, a chef who formerly served at the Japanese Embassy in Washington, D.C., designed to acquaint readers with the fundamentals of Japanese cuisine at a moment when Japanese food was just beginning to enter the global palate. This recipe book positions Japanese cuisine as both refined and accessible, Tada emphasizes the core principles of Japanese cooking, noting that its flavors "are subtle" and that meals are planned "with attention to textures, taste harmonies and contrasts," a statement reflecting the mid-century American fascination with Japan's aesthetic and culinary traditions during a period of increased U.S.-Japan cultural diplomacy. The book opens with instructions for preparing sukiyaki, tempura, yakitori, soups and soup bases, rice preparation, and the making of tea, The back-flap description reinforces the book's goal of demystifying Japanese cooking for Western kitchens, especially at a time when ingredients for Japanese cuisine were beginning to appear more widely in U.S. markets. Light edge wear to wrappers; faint toning to extremities; small crease at lower rear corner. Interior clean and bright. Overall very good condition.

Tanaka's introduction emphasizes the "old Shokujii wa Atarashii Mikata" ethos or "The stomach of the woman is the month of the boat", highlighting the importance of visual harmony, seasonal color, and formal presentation in Japanese cuisine. Tanaka teaches readers how to prepare authentic meals with both traditional ingredients and American-available substitutions. Recipes are complemented by explanations of cultural practices, table settings, and serving customs, helping readers understand not only how to cook Japanese food but how to present it in its proper aesthetic context.
