Review:

A food connoisseur expertly unravels the intricate dance surrounding food in Japan --Kirkus Reviews

The world needs this book. It needs Roads & Kingdoms. --Anthony Bourdain

The book reads like more of a travelogue than a true travel guide. And that's what makes it so refreshing. Goulding leaves you not just thoroughly informed about Japan's culinary culture, but craving it. The result is enjoyable to read whether or not you have any travel planned. --Associated Press
