Or make solid gold soup, sculpt with a fish, or turn seaweed into a symbol of happiness? In this fresh look at Japanese culinary history, Eric C. Rath delves into the writings of medieval and early modern Japanese chefs to answer these and other provocative questions, and to trace the development of Japanese cuisine from 1400 to 1868. Rath shows how medieval "fantasy food" rituals-where food was revered as symbol rather than consumed-were continued by early modern writers. The book offers the first extensive introduction to Japanese cookbooks, recipe collections, and gastronomic writings of the period and traces the origins of dishes like tempura, sushi, and sashimi while documenting Japanese cooking styles and dining customs. 606 $aCooking, Japanese$xSocial aspects 606 $aFood habits$zJapan 606 $aFood$xSocial aspects$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xSocial life and customs 610 $a1400. 610 $a1868. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aasian cultural history. 610 $aasian foods. 610 $aculinary history. 610 $aearly modern food. 610 $aearly modern japan. 610 $afantasy food. 610 $afood historians. 610 $afood lovers. 610 $afood rituals. 610 $afood symbolism. 610 $afood. 610 $agastronomic writings. 610 $ahistory and food. 610 $ajapanese chefs. 610 $ajapanese cookbooks. 610 $ajapanese cooking styles. 610 $ajapanese cuisine. 610 $ajapanese culinary history. 610 $ajapanese dining customs. 610 $ajapanese recipes. 610 $amedieval japan. 610 $anonfiction account. 610 $asashimi. 610 $ashogun. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asushi. 610 $atempura. 615 0$aCooking, Japanese$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aFood habits 615 0$aFood$xSocial aspects 676 $a394.120952 700 $aRath$b Eric C.$f1967-$01510544 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809069503321 996 $aFood and fantasy in early modern Japan$94032581 997 $aUNINA
