Review: Everything you need to know about sushi. - This book is phenomenal. I recommend it as a gift for young adults. I plan to purchase this book as a gift for my extended family.

It is well-written for the average consumer, sea-foodie, or anyone who has a love for sushi. There continues to be a sense of intimidation for preparation of fish and other seafood at home, this book definitely demystifies home preparation and sourcing. Consumers are starting to make more informed decisions on sourcing their groceries and where they choose to eat out. The author, Nick Sakagami is an incredible resource and wealth of knowledge given his experience and upbringing in the industry. I have a library of seafood, sushi-making, and sourcing books at home, and this is definitely going on top of our coffee table for our guests to explore. Review: Excellent, especially on selecting fish and other ingredients - I bought the hardback version. Mr. Sakagami -really- knows fish. I learned a great deal more about how to find, select, and prepare fish for various recipes. The recipes are very well explained and there is an excellent variety of recipes. Well worth the price. I will use this book for many years.

Sushi explained simply.
Davin is a friend of mine, and he is a phenomenal chef. That was the reason I bought the book, because I knew he was one of the featured chefs(Wrench and Rodent Seabasstropub, Oceanside, CA.) The book was well done, featured some cool recipes, and demonstrated some great techniques, but for me it came up a little short on photography. I felt some of the rolls needed more clarity that photos might have provided. Definitely would be a part of my basic training materials for introducing chefs to a better knowledge of the art of sushi.

Great, Informative Book!
This book doesn't just have great recipes and tips for making sushi, it also gives you the information on how to source your meats. That's probably the most important step in making sushi and this book does a great job of telling you how to do it right.

Wenig Rezepte, kaum Fotos
Leider sind gut die Hälfte der Rezepte ohne Bild, was ich gerade bei einem Buch über Sushi sehr schade finde. Dann sind etliche Rezepte für sonstiges Essen dabei und die paar bebilderten Sushirezepte haben mich leider nicht überzeugen können, das Buch zu behalten.
