Most of the ingredients called for by the author
are available in grocery stores. Those like miso,
mirin, and rice bran are found in specialty Japanese stores.
I like this book for its pictures, since they reminded me
of my time in Japan. Try golden yellow takuan,
pickled daikon or highly salty umeboshi, pickled plum.
A good introduction to an important part of the Japanese diet.
