I am a very advanced Home and Personal Chef who specializes in a number of Japanese cooking methods and foods. I own a plethora of Japanese cookbooks and sushi cookbooks that I use for reference and to review.
Kimiko Barber and Hiroki Tamemura have published what I consider to be the Bible of Sushi preparation and serving. This is a truly awesome compilation...and absolutely the best of all the Sushi cookbooks I have read and/or reviewed.

They start the book with Basics including Utensils, Ingredients, Basic Recipes, and then proceed to discuss Round and Flat Fish as well as Shellfish and Roe.
The book continues with Making. How to make scattered Sushi, stuffed Sushi, Pressed Sushi, Rolled Sushi, and Hand-formed Sushi. COMPLETE! Awesome!
They sum up with a chapter on what to do and how to order at a Sushi Bar, as well as proper Sushi Etiquette, What to drink, serving Sushi at Home, and Troubleshooting. Fantastic!

The book is FILLED with outstanding photos and both prepping as well as end products. Techniques are clearly delineated with instructions and photos.

The book has a Glossary; a notable Restaurant Directory; a list of Specialty Retailers, and an index.

This is a seriously detailed and comprehensive cookbook...the likes of which I have never seen in regards to Sushi.

I would gladly rate this book WELL above Five Stars if I could. It is that good. It has earned my honest and VERY wholehearted recommendation for anyone who has even a passing interest in making or eating Sushi.
A+++!! Get it, you'll love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook with simple and more difficult recipes

I do love this book. First off, it is a very nice book to have and display in your library, due to its shiny and silvery cover. Opening the book, you'll find it full of amazing illustrations, photos of cooked meals and procedures of how to do them. It is really well thought, since the author keeps giving nice hints and tips, as well as for each recipe, previous steps to simpler ones are addressed. Together with straightforward recipes, you can find also innovative combinations of tastes and ingredients. I am very satisfy with the purchase.
