- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5nonfiction (Japanese food culture; travel). Sometimes interesting, but a little dry (and there were other folks waiting to read it).
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Going to Japan and wanted to get a sense of what it would feel like. And that's the absent star, right there--I certainly got a sense of what it felt like for Mr. Booth, but he had inside access, was treated to a dinner at the finest restaurant in Tokyo, etc. My vacation will likely not follow the same trajectory! That said, it was always engaging, and I learned a great deal, and it's always a thrill to read something on Japanese cookery that isn't a cook book.
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh, no! Mr. Booth has put another country on my list to experience through food. I’ve been to Japan once and was so impressed with the basic tourist food we had, but now I want to go try all the different variations of the foods. I enjoyed the added perspective of traveling with two boys under the age of 7 because it gives a different perspective to a country.
