SUSHI - Discover the Delicious World of Sushi

SUSHI - Discover the Delicious World of Sushi is an illustrated bilingual (Japanese-English) book presenting 65 kinds of sushi, published by Natsume.

By chef Daisuke Okada, it tours the delicious world of sushi with illustrations and text in Japanese and English: from classic nigiri and gunkan to the more unusual varieties, regional sushi from across Japan and even the fun conveyor-belt (kaiten-zushi) menus. It presents 65 items, explaining each topping (tuna, salmon…), and includes many trivia columns on the history and craft that even Japanese people often don't know. It is a delight just to look at, and makes a perfect souvenir of a trip to Japan or a gift.

Recommended level: Beginner to intermediate. Being bilingual (Japanese and English) and illustrated, it is approachable from basic levels and also works as cultural reading.
