The book

Some trips are blessed with deep and unexpected sensations, despite the reason why they were organised in the first place. It’s what happened to the author of this book, who left for her honey moon with her husband and came back to Italy with the feeling of wanting to tell the tales of a country and its different cultural aspects, extremely different from ours, but nonetheless overly fascinating. Aspects that can be summarised in one key word: harmony. Something that, in Japan, you can feel even in the busiest streets of Tokyo, something that you can taste in the multiple dishes of the local cuisine. Harmony that first of all means beauty, substantial and tactile, but that also means serenity and simplicity. These elements are conveyed by traditional cooking in a direct and clear way and help the reader draw a picture of Japan, a country where every ingredient, every tool, every rite has a deep and natural meaning and it shows secrets that are hidden even to the most authentic admirer.
