Zen of Fish : The Story of Sushi, from Samurai to Supermarket

Helpful knowledge for sushi lovers

I thought this was a very educational book. The story line within was okay but not extraordinary. I thought it was enough though to keep my interest on continuing the book. I learned a lot and was very happy I read this one because of my love for sushi.

You can't say you know sushi till you read this book.

I really enjoyed "The Secret Life of Lobsters" so I made sure to read the "The Zen of Fish." I would recomend this to people who have an interest in sushi or Japanese history or both. I hate sushi and I am not into asian history at all. However, this book was great. It is awsome how Trevor Corson shows the relationship of sushi and the Japanese culture through history and sushi's place in the world then and now. Unlike "The Secret Life of Lobsters," Trevor leaves out more of the marine research and puts more focus into the science of how sushi is prepared which makes for a fascinating read. The book is a little slower to get into and is less scientific then Trevor's last book. This is still a great book though and I recomend it to any one who may be interested.
