Good Japanese cookbooks?
I don't want to learn the art of Japanese cooking, since I'm not the worlds best cook to begin with, but I thing it would be awesome to learn how to cook some stuff.
I'm looking for a book that has a wide variety of things to choose from: from breakfast to desert (and snacks?) from noodles to soups to hotpots to meats, etc. I'm not even sure if such an all inclusive book exists, but if you have any suggestions that would be awesome. :D
I don't care about levels of cooking or anything so even if you think of one that is advanced but has what I'm looking for please put it on here.
Also, before you say "google it", I have. There are too many books out there for me to pick from, and I can't even tell if they are what I want.
Thanks for the help!
