Chef Tim Anderson takes inspiration from the chefs, shopkeepers, and home cooks of Tokyo to showcase both traditional and cutting-edge takes on classic dishes like sushi, ramen, yakitori, and tempura. Also included are dishes that Tokyoites love to eat with origins from abroad, like Japanese interpretations of Korean barbecue, Italian pizza and pasta, American burgers and more. Tim tackles his food tour of Tokyo from the ground up, with chapters broken down into: LOWER GROUND FLOOR: Tokyo on the Go (Department Store Basements, Subway Stations, and Convenience Stores); FIRST FLOOR: Tokyo Local (food traditional to Tokyo); SECOND FLOOR: Tokyo National (food traditional to Japan); THIRD FLOOR: Tokyo Global (Japanese food with an international twist) FOURTH FLOOR: Tokyo at Home (Japanese home cooking); and, FIFTH FLOOR: Tokyo Modern (experimental Japanese food found in high-end hotel bars).
With Tim's easy-to-follow recipes, this is make-at-home Japanese food, authentic yet achievable for the home chef – without cutting corners. The real thrill of eating in Tokyo is in the sense of discovery – of adventurous curiosity rewarded. And that may come in the form of an unexpectedly good convenience store sandwich, an 'oh my god' sushi moment, or just the best damn bowl of ramen you've ever had. With Tokyo Stories you can explore Tokyo and discover its incredible food without leaving your home kitchen. Featuring over 90 recipes, all set to the backdrop of Tokyo location shots, this is essential for the Japanophile in your life.

Good books, and I can see it would be beautiful but they came dinged up.
Don’t purchase if you plan on gifting. I made the mistake of buying all three without knowing it would not be sealed. There are dings on all three books on the gold foil and smudge marks on the outside. I am still going to keep them as the content looks ok and it was bought for myself, but if I didn’t know it was NEW, they all arrived looking gently used.
Beautiful book!
I was so impressed when I received this book, it's soooo beautiful! Pictures and recipes are amazing, but honestly I'm most amazed by the design and materials of this book. Absolutely beautiful!
Awesome recipes!!!
This book has amazing recipes, it has a recipe for curry pan and different types of ramen including ramen with corn and butter added which seemed strange but it tasted amazing!!! Get this cookbook!!!
Brilliant
Just a beautifully curated recipe book
Tim Anderson will be your Japanese guru
Tim Anderson is my Japanese guru. His first two books Nanban and JapanEasy changed my whole view of Japanese cuisine. Two of my favorite dishes from Nanban are Chicken patties (Tsukune) and Fried marinated chicken with vinegar sauce and tartar sauce (Chicken Nanban) that I turn to time and again because they are packed with flavor. With each book, he further transforms this ancient cuisine into something that is hip, fun and exciting. I wouldn't think it possible for Anderson to keep churning out imaginative and inspiring cookbooks, but the man makes it seem effortless. Tokyo Stories is an explosion of color with vibrant illustrations, stunning photographs of both the dishes shared as well as Tokyo itself. This is an Eat Your Books Digital title.

Got this cookbook before visiting Japan! WOW! What an amazing amount of knowledge inside. It helped me enjoy so many aspects of life there. Including My lunch choices, and what drinks to avoid. Thanks to Tim for knowledge that made my trip so much more Enjoyable. Now I can try my hand at the recipes at home! Even got the seaweed!
Love it!
An amazing book for Japan lovers! Very well written and both photographies and graphic are stunning. If you are looking for a recipes book look at the other books from the same author, this is more a book about the Tokyo experience.
