About the Author
Shinzo Satomi (1937-2002) is the pen name used by Atsushi Naitoh for his gourmet writing. A columnist for Japan's leading monthly magazine Bungei Shunjuu (the Time magazine of Japan), Satomi covered the food and dining beat for the magazine for decades. He is considered among gourmands to be the father of Japan's B-Class Gourmet boom of the '90s, which developed after Japan's economic bubble burst in the late '80s. His "BEST OF" series of essays were trend-setting and king-making for those establishments that found themselves detailed with his passionate words.
If you like finding out the behind the scenes stories of things you like and you like sushi, then this is the book for you. It has in depth info about sushi prep by one of the masters of the trade. Plus, there are stories relating to the sushi industry and Jiro's restaurant that are quite interesting as well. Highly recommended.-Jeff Bower
This book is for serious sushi lovers. I mean - SERIOUS. I'm not an expert anywhere near Jiro-San's level, but I do appreciate a broad variety of sushi - I loved having the background and in-depth analysis to provide me with a much broader experience. Just in time too! We had a better sushi experience in Hawaii recently because of this wonderful book. -AJD3
I rarely write reviews, but this is just a lovely, mouthwatering and insightful book about sushi. Whatever the cost, buy. It will give an amazing insight in the minute details of fish and rice. -Fredick
