An important document exploring Japanese food culture. - Title: A Study of Food Civilization - Author: Shigeru Otsuka - Publisher: Asahi Shimbun Publishing - First Edition Published: August 20, 1978 - Price: 920 yen Thank you for viewing. This book was found while cleaning out my husband's parents' house. It was stored long-term in a bookshelf with glass doors. Although there is some aging, it is an old book but I think it is in good condition.
