Description
Japanese food is as much about aesthetics as it is about taste. In Japan, a meal is often described as a feast for the eyes, and this visual aspect plays a significant role in the country's culinary culture. This visually striking book explores the aesthetics of Japanese cuisine from various perspectives, including interviews with chefs, designers, home cooks, artists, and more. It delves into contemporary trends like bento boxes and kawaii character cafés, as well as culturally-specific phenomena such as plastic display food and vending machines. With hundreds of photographs, Oishii! offers a comprehensive and contemporary investigation of every aspect of Japan's cuisine, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the country's unique food culture.
