Now, internationally renowned chef Hiromitsu Nozaki shares his expertise and insights in a book that will help anyone who owns a Japanese knife to maximize its performance. In Japanese Kitchen Knives, Nozaki teaches the reader how to use usuba, deba and yanagiba, the three main traditional Japanese knives. He explains many essential techniques, such as the importance of understanding blade angle and point of force, and illustrates these lessons by working with ingredients familiar to western readers, like carrots and rainbow trout. Color photos and Nozaki's commentary further clarify the process, and the pictures are taken from the chef's perspective for easier understanding (most other books take photos from the reverse perspective). Each technique is accompanied by recipes that require its use, and all recipes are very simple, using easy-to-acquire ingredients. Other sections include a look at artisanal Japanese knife-making and information on sharpening, storing and identifying the variety of Japanese knives. Specialty knives are shown on location, from the unique unagi eel knife in an unagi specialty restaurant to the colossal tuna filleting knife in Tsukiji fish market. Review: Highly reccomended for a great start in Japanese food preperation. - This book is highly regarded and is seen as being the main English resource for choosing, using, caring and sharpening a Japanese Usuba, Deba and Yanagiba knives (the three most common knifes which you should purchase to start your passion). This book actively encourages you to pick up a Japanese knife and prepare spectacular food, through detailed yet easily understood step by step guides with essential diagrams to simplify the more complex techniques. It lives up to the expectation of being an excellent resource you will want to activlely use for learning Japanese culinary techniques, providing both guides and recipes and not to mention spectacular photography. The photography and easy to understand text allows this book to be equally at home in an always to hand kitchen library or as a coffee table book once you have mastered the techniques within. Either way it is a great book to get you started in learning Japanese knife skills. Review: A good addition for those of us who like Japanese cooking, but not for every body. - From the same people who gave us 'Cool Tools: cooking utensils from Japan', and therefore should be good, but the main thrust of the book is restricted to three knives. It does however have good photography and recipes in it, and explains the technique of using the knives, but it is still, in my opinion of little interest to the normal cook, except in passing. If you love it, then you do. But if you don't then you boo.
