Japanese Kitchen
Can anyone reccomend me some good books by Japanese authors?

I have read Kitchen and Amrita by Banana Yoshimoto.

Eiji Yoshikawa – Musashi
Tanizaki Junichiro – the Makioka sisters
Natsume Soseki – Kokoro, Sanchiro, I am a cat
Yukio Mishima – The sale who fell from grace with the sea
Abe Kobo – the woman in the dunes
Yasunari Kawabata – A thousand cranes, The Master of Go
Masuji Ibuse – Black Rain
Shusaku Endo – Silence
Ryonosuke Akutagawa – Rashomon

These are all Japanese ‘classics’ in English translation, most of them are modern novels

We recommend the World Cuisine brand over others because it costs about half or less of the price of similar models, makes nicer noodles, is easy to use and clean, and can slice fairly large quantities quickly, and is quite sturdy. The popular Joyce Chen type slicers can only process small…

Ginsu 04817 International Traditions 14-Piece Knife Set with Block, Natural

Many associate Ginsu knives with the product’s kitschy infomercial from the ‘70s that begins with a karate kick to a watermelon and proceeds with a demo of these knives cutting through just about anything in the house. Like the original product, Ginsu’s International Traditions is designed for the home cook who is not attuned to the maintenance required of a more high-end knife. H…

There is nothing that quite compares to these live recordings made in Kina’s own nightclub in Okinawa, Japan, in 1977. He took a local style of music called katcharsee and turned it into a proto-punk folk music that has all the power of a good rock band yet holds on to the local flavor of Okinawa’s sanshin music. By taking this ancient folk instrument and electrifying it and by then adding ba…
