Cool Tools: Cooking Utensils from the Japanese Kitchen

A good book, but for a limited audience.One needs to be a Japanophile to appreciate it fully.Nicely illustrated.

This must be one of the most beautiful books I've seen. The photographs are as meticulous and precise as the tools the book talks about. The respect in which the authors approach the subject and describe the tools is very compelling. I am not Japanese, nor do I cook Japanese food. But a book like this makes me want to venture into the culinary world of the rising sun.

this book cover almost everything in the kitchen of a home in japan! explains what everything is! a must for the japanses cooking learner!
