Dining Guide to Japan

Dining in Japan is both an art and an adventure-an experience that is made memorable by the variety of unique dishes, their gourmet quality and the style in which they are served. The Dining Guide to Japan introduces novices to the appropriate etiquette for different restaurants, along with what to expect and how to order. This handy guide will soon have visitors developing a taste for such things as miso soup, nori, ramen, soba, sukiyaki, udon, unagi, yaki-tori...and yes, even fugu, the deadly globefish!
