A BEST COOKBOOK OF THE YEAR:Â The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle
2024 JAMES BEARD AWARDÂ NOMINEE: RESTAURANT AND PROFESSIONAL BOOKÂ
RINTARO, the debut cookbook from one of San Franciscoâs most acclaimed restaurants, translates the experience of a Tokyo izakaya to the home kitchen.
Crowd-pleasing foods like curry rice, tonkatsu, and yakitori, eaten most often at lunch counters and in home kitchens, live alongside sashimi, fresh bamboo shoots, and other dishes that are usually considered part of a more elevated Japanese cooking tradition.
Through clear instruction, abundant photography, and utterly delicious recipes, RINTARO demystifies Japanese food for home cooks with over 70 recipes for rice, simmered dishes, homemade udon, and grilled foods.
RINTAROÂ shows a cross section of Japanese food that isnât usually shown in American cookbooks. The book showcases exciting but simple food that tastes both like Japan and Californiaânot fusion foodâbut the food that youâd expect if the Bay Area were a region of Japan. With gorgeous photography and special design and production touches, this is a book that will live in the kitchen as well as on the coffee table.
