Oishinbo: à la Carte, Vol. 5: Vegetables

Perfect. Thanks!

Even though this series is written in the manga style, I learn something new about the history of Japanese cuisine with every volume. There are even 1 or 2 recipes included at the end of each book. Even read in order, the back story of the individual characters is still a bit disjointed and hard to follow. The back stories are not that closly interwoven into the culinary stories, so character devleopment comes in second to food. So, if you are looking for a manga story with food thrown in, try elsewhere. If you want to know more about how the Japanese developed their cuisine and and a bit of their food culture, this short series may do just fine.

Interesting cultural info.Sometimes hard to follow the story since you are missing chronological pieces from other books.

Another in the manga series on Japanese cooking. This time vegetables get the treatment. In addition to following the adventures of the hero, you'll get advice on selecting eggplant, roasting potatoes with salt and other Japanese methods. If you're interested in Japanese culture or Japanese food, this is a good series

Entertaining and different way to learn about Japanese cuisine.

I found the series really interesting. I learned a lot about Japanese food. The disjointed story telling was a bit annoying. I would love if they would print the entire series.

All other Oishinbo volumes are great. You would drool or get hungry every time you read it. It may will make you a better cooker, if you try to. It has interesting characters and stories. I've learned a lot on how to cook properly.

Great Manga for lovers of Japanese food. The entire series is wonderful. I wish they would translate more stories to English.

Great manga series teaching about japanese food

Beautiful condition

Very good seller. A+++

Manga sympa qui se lit facilement.Ceci dit j'ai été déçu du manque de recettes, la scénario est très prévisible / répétitif et les dessins un peu vieillots. Question de goût bien sur.Je conseille donc de consulter un extrait avant d'acheter.

really enjoy - great info for anyone interested in Japanese cooking!! and general knowledge of Japanese food/life
