Preserving the Japanese Wayoffers an easy to understand road map for preserving fruits, vegetables, and fish through a non-scientific, farm- or fisherman-centric approach. Backdrop to the 80 recipes outlined in this book, are the producers and the artisanal products used to make these salted and fermented foods. The arresting photos of the barrel maker, fish sauce producer, artisanal vinegar company, 200 hundred-year-old sake producer, and traditional morning pickle markets with wrinkled grandmas still selling their wares document an authentic view of the inner circle of Japanese life.
Recipe methods range from the ultra-traditional: Umeboshi (Salt-Dried Sour Plums, Takuan (Rice Bran Fermented Dried Daikon), and Hakusai (Salt-Fermented Cabbage; to the modern: Shoyu Koji Zucchini Coins, Turnips Pickled in Plum Vinegar, and Melon in Sake Lees. Preserving with Salt & Koji also introduces and demystifies one of the most fascinating ingredients to hit the food scene in a decade: koji. Kojiis neither new, nor unusual in the landscape of Japan fermentation but it has quickly become a cult favourite for quick pickling or marinades. Preserving the Japanese Wayis a book about community, seasonality as the root of preserved food, and ultimately about why community and seasonality are relevant in our lives today.
Native Californian Nancy Singleton Hachisu is a Stanford graduate married to a Japanese farmer since 1988. The early 1930s Hachisu family farmhouse has been the center for many events celebrating traditional agrarian customs such as Tokanya, rice planting, and mochi pounding. Her first book, Japanese Farm Food, was praised in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the London Times. As one of the top cookbooks of 2012, it was featured in Food & Wine’s Best of the Best Cookbooks, Vol. 16 and nominated by the IACP for the Julia Child Award (Best First Book). The French edition, Japon, la cuisine à la ferme, includes a preface by Joël Robuchon and won the World Gourmand Award for Best Translation in 2013. Dutch and Japanese editions were published in 2015. Hachisu appears frequently in the Japanese media, documenting her preserving and farm food life as well as visits to artisanal producers in more remote areas of Japan to advocate for Japan’s disappearing food traditions.
