With 33 recipes, this cookbook includes the classic chawanmushi, gyudon, and tamagoyaki, as well as modern favorites like California rolls and green tea ice cream. Nami focuses on the authentic methods on how the Japanese cooks prepare these delicious meals at home.

You'll learn to make chicken teriyaki just like how her grandmother and mother taught her. The book also includes essential pantry items and cooking basics like making perfect steamed rice, sushi rice, and dashi soup stock.
