About this audiobook
Written in the same evocative voice that drives the award-winning magazine Roads Kingdoms, Rice, Noodle, Fish explores Japan's most intriguing culinary disciplines in seven key regions, from the kaiseki tradition of Kyoto and the sushi masters of Tokyo to the street food of Osaka and the ramen culture of Fukuoka. You won't find hotel recommendations or bus schedules; you will find a brilliant narrative that interweaves immersive food journalism with intimate portraits of the cities and the people who shape Japan's food culture.
Rice, Noodle, Fish is a rare blend of inspiration and information, perfect for the intrepid and armchair traveler alike. Combining literary storytelling and indispensable insider information, the end result is the first ever guidebook for the new age of culinary tourism.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is even better on audio. In your head it is unlikely for you to read another language as it is meant to be read. Scratch that travel itch by diving into this wonderful book about the food and people that make it in Japan. The narration is enjoyable and calming yet holds the readers attention through excitement that is clear in his voice.
