Ogata Yashu to Ryori

緒方　野趣と料理

From Toshiro Ogata of the 2-star Michelin kaiseki restaurant Ogata in Kyoto, this book features stunning and evocative pictures of Ogata-san’s cuisine with an eloquent foreword by luminary musical artist Ryuichi Sakamoto. The front of the book is full color and huge shots of ingredients, food, and pottery used by Ogata-san, whereas the rear is dual language Japanese-English descriptions of each philosophy, each dish, and each thought process into the things being transposed into photos.
