I'm a toddler dad and casual fan of Japanese food and culture, and I liked this quite well. MAB gets on my nerves now and then, but I think it's just part of his authorial affect - I really appreciate his underlying perspective on parenting, food, and travel. ( )

Nick told me this was a great book, so I gave it a try. A few pages in the author is talking about his daughter Iris, food, Seattle, and it hits me - I've read this author before! Awhile ago I read his book "Hungry Monkey" and found it utterly delightful, which boded well for me enjoying this book. Then, a chapter or two into this book, the author mentions his addiction to a manga series called "Oishinbo A la Carte" - I have the first book of the series waiting on my bedside table! All the forces were aligned to bring me to this book, and for me to fall in love with it. Done and done.

Light and fun. A good, episodic book for filling free moments. Reminded me of Japan.

> If I were married to a tempura chef, I would encourage her not to shower after work. Perhaps this is what Napoleon meant when he wrote Josephine, "Ne te lave pas. J'arrive." ( )

I want to go to Japan and EAT.
I want to go to Japan and EAT with Iris. ( )

Somewhere in the middle of the chapter about chicken on a stick (yakatori), I realized that I was completely sold on Tokyo, Japanese food, and this book. A fun (and funny) read that renewed my childhood fascination with all things Japan.
