Masami Okamoto, Christiane Buck:
SUSHI
Ein schlichter Titel, für ein besonderes Buch. Ein Sushi-Band, dessen Gestaltung die Besonderheiten der japanischen Kultur auf kongenialen Art uns Weise umsetzt: traumhafte Fotos, eine an der japanischen Ästhetik angelehnten Seitengestaltung, authentische Sushi-Rezepte, philosophische Weisheit zum Thema Essen und reine Einführung in die japanische Tischkultur. Nicht gerade ein Buch welches man in der Küche neben die Zutaten beim Kochen legt, sondern eher ein Kunstbuch zum wiederholten lesen und anschauen.
