Book Synopsis
Uses an innovative global perspective and rich ethnographic data on six continents to fashion a comprehensive account of the creation and reception of the global Japanese restaurant' in the modern world.

Trade Review
Japanese food has spread around the world with dramatic ease over the last forty years. This book historicizes and spatializes that dispersion over the long twentieth century (1880–2020). The authors connect the phases of East Asian colonialism, through settler migration, to ethnic succession, corporatization, to the sudden global repute of Japanese fine dining. This is not about Japanese food in Japan but about Japanese food outside of Japan." —Eric C. Rath, The University of Kansas
