 Simple and easy but not always correct October 16, 2008

For the really simple things, obviously you can't go wrong and though I have not used this book extensively, it seems some of the recipes are off.
For example the 3 colored dango gave me measurements that were pretty different than other recipes I found online. Also on how to cook the rice I was told that recipe was off too, therefore the results I got were far less than desired.
I've lost faith in this book and though it was fun at first, I most likely will not use it again.
There are some great sites online of bloggers with great recipes like justhungry.com and others.
I know there are much better books out there on cooking simple Japanese foods..
For fun and very simple things, this is a cute book, but nothing more, for me anyway.
 We love it! August 23, 2008

Bought this book to help me learn to make Bento Boxes and my son enjoyed the book so much he got involved too! It is definitely written with kids in mind but easy enough for an adult to learn the "basics" of bento items to make.
Great for Kids, but too simple for Adults August 21, 2008

If you're looking for a basic introduction to Japanese food, this works. If you're looking for something that gives you some Japanese recipes that don't require a lot of obscure or strange ingredients, this also works. In general, this makes a great kid's cookbook, but not much more. The recipes are all very simple, and while the art is cute, it just doesn't have enough content to be considered a true cookbook in my opinion.
nice and easy intro to Japanese cooking August 13, 2008

this book is awesome if you're interested in cooking Japanese cuisine. And if you're a beginner then all the better! Each recipe in this book is simply explained with pictures and words to make the cooking experience as easy as pie. I would defiantly recommend this cooking book to anyone interested in learning some basic Japanese recipes.

This book is fantastic, wonderfully written, animated, and the meals are fantastic to boot! Cute, fun, and delicious. Now, to find a bento box to bring with me into the office, Pokemon, or Digimon?
