Summary: For the adventurous
Comment: This book is more suited to those on a culinary tour of Japan, or those looking to taste the entire culture. I went on a short business trip, and ordinary guidebooks seemed to have enough information for survivial (for me at least).

If you're the sort of person who likes to try everything, this book may be for you. For a one week trip, I did not have time to take advantage of all of the information.

Rating: 5
Summary: As indispensable as any map or guide book
Comment: If you are going on a trip to Japan, take "What's What in Japanese Restaurants" with you. It is a handy, pocket-sized reference book that will save you many a stomach-ache and hopefully let you discover many a good taste. Not all strange Japanese food is to be feared!

The guide outlines many of the main Japanese foods, a few ways to eat them and some simple restaurant etiquette. The food are named in both English and Japanese, with the Japanese written in Katakana and Hiragana. This is important, as most Japanese menus will not contain an English translation.

The books small size is most convenient, as luggage space can be at a premium. In the end, you will be glad you brought this book along.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: This informative and interesting book actually restored my faith in Japanese food, which had been tested by the George Bush Snr bouche-douche incident. Emulating the former president's surgical strike nearly cost me in credit talks in Tokyo 2 years ago, and, if nothing else, this book will teach you to avoid a bowl of raw whale glans at a business lunch - which makes the $10 pricetag look a steal.
