{"product_id":"oishii","title":"Oishii! Japanese Food Style","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs fascinating and colorful as its subject, this visually striking celebration of Japanese food shows the importance of aesthetics in everything, from haute cuisine to vending machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Japan, where a meal is typically described as a feast for the eyes, food is a matter of national identity and heritage. Oishii! (which means ‘delicious’ in English) explores the aesthetics of the country’s cuisine from a variety of perspectives, including interviews with world-famous chefs, scholars, designers, popular home cooks, patisserie chefs, artists, and more. It looks at Japanese food through the seasons; traces contemporary trends such as bento boxes and kawaii character cafés; takes readers to destinations like the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum and the fish roe-themed Mentai Park; and dives into culturally-specific phenomena including plastic display food, manga, and vending machines. Japanese culture expert Manami Okazaki offers a kaleidoscopic investigation of every aspect of the nation’s cuisine, resulting in a book that is both comprehensive and contemporary. Filled with hundreds of photographs, it’s packed tighter than a bento box with fun and useful information.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prestel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45278023909561,"sku":"7006005495571","price":145.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/2366\/6617\/files\/Oishii-Japanese-Food-Style.jpg?v=1756183363","url":"https:\/\/hobb.ae\/products\/oishii","provider":"Hobb Design \u0026 Visual Culture Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
