Food and Fantasy in Early Modern Japan Hardcover - 2010 - 1st Edition
by Eric Rath
From the rear cover
"Food and Fantasy offers a fresh look at Japanese cuisine through its pre-modern to early modern history. Rath's treatment of the cuisines that existed in the world of the shoguns and what these reflect of taste and aesthetics, life and politics, offers lush detail. We have a taste of the meals that may have only existed in the hungry imaginations of writers."--Merry White, author of Perfectly Japanese: Making Families in an Era of Upheaval
