Nihon Ryori Ryu Gin

日本料理　龍吟

Ryugin is a 3-star Michelin kaiseki restaurant headed by Seiji Yamamoto. This book is less a cookbook and more of a philosophical reflection into his approach to all aspects of cooking. The book is a visual pleasure – not just the food being particularly gorgeous but with the earthenware and plates being exceptional as well. For those of you who enjoy watching the process, Yamamoto-san also has a YouTube channel called Tokyo Gastronomy that is highly entertaining.
