Foods of Japan

I just borrowed this book from the library today, and I think this series would be a great introduction to foods of different cultures. The pictures are great and the text is informative without going overboard. Not only are different foods and dishes described, but also points of etiquette. I can't wait to try out with my son a few of the eight recipes included in this book. I am surprised, however, that it did not include a recipe for miso soup. Also included is a glossary, a list of other books on the topic, and a list of websites. Looking forward to checking out other books in this series.
