Wagamama means "selfish" in Japanese, and Liane Grunberg certainly had no intentions of being selfish when she married into a traditional family in Tokyo. It kind of just happened. His and hers weddings - a lavish Imperial Hotel Shinto ceremony for his side of the family, a modest Jewish ceremony for hers - set the stage for a fragile union between clashing Jewish and Japanese values. At its heart, this is the story of the couples' valiant attempts to forge their own middle way with one God, two temples, and two Chabad Houses that bring Jewish Orthodoxy, unlike anything Liane Wakabayashi knew before, to awaken her to a Torah way of life.

"Katarzyna Cwiertka shows that key shifts in the Japanese diet were, in many cases, a consequence of modern imperialism. Exploring reforms in home cooking and military catering, wartime food management and the rise of urban gastronomy, she reveals how Japan's pre-modern culinary diversity was eventually replaced by a truly 'national' cuisine - a set of foods and practices with which the majority of Japanese today ardently identify." "The result of more than a decade of research, Modern Japanese Cuisine is a look at the historical roots of one of the world's best cuisines. It includes additional information on the influx of Japanese food and restaurants in Western countries, and how in turn these developments have informed our view of Japanese cuisine. This book is appetizing reading for all those interested in Japanese culture and its influences."--BOOK JACKET.
