Edo No Shokuseikatsu (Iwanami Gendai Bunko Gakujutsu 212)

[Machine Translation] The food business thrived in the metropolis of Edo. How was a large market established? We also examine daily menus from the diaries of samurai and the records of the shoguns. What was on the table and what were the taboos? From the idea of the medical and culinary origins of food to the famine response and the diverse foods of the Ainu and Ryukyu Islands, this is an excellent book that looks at the food culture of the Edo period in the context of the spatial expansion of the archipelago. The book is supplemented by "Island Food Culture" featuring the Izu Islands.
