Carte

Cum sa iubim o alta cultura, fara a o abandona pe cea careia ii apartinem? Iata intrebarea care, dincolo de observatii si comentarii, strabate cartea.

Ecologic, estetic, reciclabil, deosebit… si lista avantajelor impachetarii furoshiki poate continua. Aceasta tehnica de ambalare originara din Japonia Evului Mediu este cunoscuta azi in toata lumea. 
In zilele noastre, tehnica de impachetare furoshiki traieste o noua epoca de aur, iar pe langa esarfele cu motive traditionale japoneze se pun in valoare si esarfe moderne, cu motive vestice. 

Compiled and annotated by an authority on Japanese food who has lived in Japan since 1973, this dictionary aims to eliminate the mystery, explain the nuances and reveal the wonders of Japanese food. For each entry in the Japanese-English section, Hosking lists the Japanese term in kana or kanji or both, a Latin name where appropriate, an English name, and a detailed English definition. The English-Japanese section defines common non-Japanese food items in Japanese and annotates those which need explanation. The book also contains 17 appendices on topics such as mountain vegetables, cooking utensils, vegetarianism, tofu, miso, sake, and soy sauce.
