Review

“Super Sushi Ramen Express establishes Michael Booth―already memorable for his teasing Rorschach of Scandinavia, The Almost Nearly Perfect People―as the next Bill Bryson.”―Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review "In funny, anecdotal chapters, many of which focus on a single type of food, Booth, a Denmark-based travel writer sinks his teeth into the sort of unvarnished cultural-culinary reporting that made Calvin Trillin a star three decades ago...From a discussion of what makes one soy sauce better than another to a visit to a wasabi farm (that’s right…it doesn’t start out as a tube of green paste!), Booth whistle-stops his way through Japan making toothsome observations all the way."―Passport Magazine“There’s some of both Bill Bryson and Anthony Bourdain in Booth’s cheerful, game, often irreverent, and, perhaps most importantly, hungry approach to discovering a new place.”―Booklist“Get on board.”―The Sacramento Bee“Booth is one of the sharpest food writers around, and this is essential fare for foodies.”―Mail on Sunday (London)“Booth’s style is hugely enjoyable…an entertaining guide to the food you should try on a trip to the area.” ―Timeout (London)“Booth’s descriptions of food made my mouth water. This book is a must for all lovers of Japanese cuisine.”―The Guardian (London)"Whether or not Super Sushi Ramen Express is readers' first encounter with Japanese cuisine and culture, it is worth savoring…. Food writer and humorist Michael Booth sets his sights on Japanese cuisine, with delightful and delicious results.”―Shelf Awareness“[Super Sushi Ramen Express] is a treat for readers, even if they never taste a single morsel.”―Library Journal“Entertaining...Booth’s immersion in a remarkable cuisine is both engaging and convincing.”―Publishers Weekly“A British food and travel writer takes his wife, two young sons, and bubbly brand of humor to Japan in hopes of examining the food culture...he covers the current state of Japanese cuisine with humor and intelligence.”―Kirkus Reviews

This is the same book as Sushi & Beyond (minus one chapter) that was published in 2009. All Michael Booth's books are entertaining just wish this was a new one.

I took me back to my time in Japan the the enjoyment of its varied and exquisite cuisine.Booth writes with humor and wonderment about more than just the food.

A lovely book about a family's culinary journey through Japan. It will make you want to book a flight tomorrow.

Great! Very Useful.

Fantastic account of Japanese cooking and styles in a writing style equally brilliant simple and entertaining. Looking forward to more of his work

Very engaging trip through the food and drink of Japan. Well written.

Enjoyable, well written

It had started off as a perfectly temperate discussion about the relative merits of French and Japanese cuisines. I had recently had dinner at the feted French restaurant SaQuaNa, in Honfleur, on the Normandy coast. The chef, Alexandre Bourdas, was a fast-rising culinary star in France, and I had innocently remarked on his lightness of touch and the freshness of his raw ingredients, drawing what turned out to be a rash comparison between his food and Japanese cooking. I knew that Bourdas had worked in Japan for three years, so it didn’t seem too outlandish to suggest that his cooking had been influenced by the food he had eaten there.I ought to have known this would be a red flag to my friend Katsotoshi Kondo.“What do you know about Japan food, huh?” Toshi snapped. “Do you think you know anything about Japanese food? Only in Japan!”…“I have something for you.”He handed me a large hardback with a blurry painting of a leaping fish on the cover. Momentarily taken aback, I promised to read it and thanked Toshi….The book was Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art by Shizuo Tsuji… published in 1979… As I would later discover, it is still the preeminent English-language Japanese food reference source, the bible of Japanese cooking for a generation of Japanophile food lovers throughout the world….Shortly after finishing the book… I made a rash, impulsive, and, it would turn out, life-changing decision. I decided I had no other choice but to go and see, and taste, for myself, to travel to Japan and investigate the state of Japanese food today, to learn as much as I could about their techniques and ingredients…That early-August night, I booked four open tickets to Japan, instead of one, and began to map out a workable route through what Toshi had assured me were the pulse points of Japan’s culinary culture.We would take a foodie family road trip lasting just under three months… I had no idea whether it was realistic to attempt such a journey with young children in tow, but I knew I wanted them to see and experience as much as possible of Japan and the Japanese.Asger, six, and Emil, four, had never journeyed beyond Europe. Asger was as fussy an eater as I had been at his age, which meant his diet was restricted largely to potato-based foodstuffs shaped like dinosaurs. Meanwhile, Emil had a tendency to projective-vomit foods he did not like… What on earth were they going to eat? What was the real Japan like? Was it navigable? How did the Japanese live? Would there be space, let alone a welcome, for a small, curious family from the West?The Super Sushi Ramen Express: One Family's Journey through the Belly of Japan by food critic Michael Booth is the first food junkie audio I’ve ever listened to. In the past, I would not have picked this up. However, this entry piqued my interest as being not only a about food, but also an extraordinary travel journal through Japan, and, a humorous one at that; because it involved the author and his family including two small children. Think about it: two small children under six-years-old, picky eaters, unfamiliar foods. What could go wrong? I’m thrilled to report that I was not disappointed in the least. It was indeed a fascinating listen and I never once thought about not finishing it. It actually turned out to be a life-changer for me as I’ve since incorporated more foods which were discussed into my diet.Besides being a food author whose writing appears regularly in The Guardian, The Independent, Independent on Sunday, The Times, The Telegraph, Condé Nast Traveller magazine and other global publications, Michael Booth is also a journalist, broadcaster and speaker. I have read that, minus one chapter, this book is essentially the same book as Sushi & Beyond which was published in 2009 and adapted into a popular Japanese anime television series.The following teasers are just a tip of the iceberg of what readers can expect to find within the pages of this book. The book is more of an experience in and of itself:*The family visits a facility of Sumo wrestlers where readers are treated to learning about the culture that surrounds the wrestlers from how they live to the food they eat.*The family visits a red-light district and a world-famous fish market. I both laughed and was horrified by some of what was related.*Scandalously to me, whale is very much on the Japanese menu. The Japanese use everything including the whale’s feces!!!! Booth describes a visit to a restaurant specializing in whale. Thankfully, whale droppings aren’t on that menu.*Typhoons are a frequent occurrence in Japan. The family dealt with typhoon conditions multiple times as they traveled the length of the country over nearly a three-month period.*MSG has been routinely blamed for Alzheimer’s, ADD, childhood asthma, and more. Japan is the largest producer of MSG. Previous to listening to this book, I didn’t know what MSG was made of or of the benefits of using it.*The Japanese care about texture and presentation as much as flavor. That’s not to say that they sacrifice any of the three when preparing a dish.*Okinawans are well-known as being healthy, long-lived people. Booth describes their lifestyle and their diet.*Readers will experience cod sperm and octopus ice cream.Following please find a few of my favorite quotes from this listen:We had arrived in Tokyo a few hours earlier that evening, frazzled but, given the time difference, still frisky, as our brains remained convinced it was early afternoon. Before we had even cleared customs, the foreignness of Japan had become apparent in the form of a “No Broccoli” sign – a silhouette of a head of broccoli with a red line through it. – at customs. Was broccoli smuggling an issue in Tokyo? Were other brassicas also prohibited? It would remain one of many enigmas from the trip.---Over thirteen million people live in Tokyo: one-tenth of the population of Japan inhabiting 2 percent of its land.---Kabukicho and the nearby Golden Gai are about as sleazy as things get in Japan, housing lavish hostess bars with names like Vanity and Seduce, some of them hosted by young men for female clients, all crowded together over many floors of many high-rise buildings. …This may not seem a terribly appropriate place to take young children for an evening, but even though this is a yakuza heartland, Kabukicho is clean, safe, and, apart from the artfully highlighted Kajagoogoo haircuts of the gigolo bar touts, fairly restrained. Even if they were older, Asger and Emil would have been none of the wiser regarding the -– I’ve no doubt hair-raising – activities in the windowless salons around us. Legend has it the city’s Turkish baths all had to change their names to “soap lands” after the Turkish ambassador was taken to one by mistake and a diplomatic incident ensued.The Super Sushi Ramen Express: One Family's Journey through the Belly of Japan is read by Ralph Lister. This is the first time I’ve ever listened to Ralph Lister. “Read by” is an apt description as he voices the book clearly and succinctly, pausing appropriately. The production is professionally done. Since it is Michael Booth’s diary, there is no need for Lister to perform any other characters. Based upon what I heard, I would not hesitate to pick up another audio voiced by Lister.The Super Sushi Ramen Express: One Family's Journey through the Belly of Japan is an entertaining guide to one of the most food-obsessed countries in the world. Booth’s enjoyment and appreciation of food and the traveling experience is evident in each chapter. I hope to check out more of Michael Booth’s works in the future as I thoroughly enjoyed this audio.My full review is posted at Reading Between the Wines Book Club. Please check it out there!
