After working hard for the past several months, I’m extremely happy to announce that my first eBook, Just One Cookbook – Essential Japanese Recipes is here!

After all, Just One Cookbook is no longer one cookbook! 🙂
During the past 3 years of blogging, I’ve received many interests and inquiries for my cookbook from JOC readers. My reply has always been, “No, I do not have published cookbooks, just the blog to keep all the recipes I love.”
However, with the increasing requests for a cookbook, you’ve convinced me! I realized many of my readers are interested in cooking Japanese food, but when you come to my site it’s not very clear where to start.
So I’ve selected 33 easy and simple recipes that my family, JOC readers, and I love most from Just One Cookbook.
Just One Cookbook Essential Japanese Recipes (e-Book)
This cookbook has over 90 pages of recipes and instructions for appetizers, side dishes, main dishes, rice & noodles, and dessert, which include 12 pages of Japanese cooking basics and pantry items.
Here are a few snapshots from the book:

I saw that your ebook is on hard copy and being sold by Amazon. Actually there are two of your books too. Have you started to print the book and wrote another book.? If yes I would like to purchase them.
Hi Chong! Thank you very much for reading Nami’s posts and for your love and support!
Yes! Nami had published a second cookbook! You can purchase the digital version or in print. This one comes with 295 pages!

We hope you enjoy it!
Thank you, Naomi San, you articles are always informative and I love reading them. Thanks again.
Hi Chong! Nami and JOC team are happy to hear you enjoy JOC content!
Thank you for your kind feedback.
Hello Nami, I love looking at all your recipes, I am a big fan of Japanese food and have had many dishes. I look forward to continuing cooking your recipes and and sharing them with my family. Thank you :o)
Hi Gurpreet! Nami and the JOC team are so happy to hear you enjoy many recipes from our site!
Thank you very much for your kind feedback! 💕
Would you ever consider making a physical cook book, not just an e book? I would love to have one in my kitchen!
Hi Mallory! Thank you very much for your request!!!
Nami has been considering it, but for now, we have a print version of the ebook available on Amazon https://amzn.to/35Ahqge.
Dear Nami,
Congratulations on being a finalist for the 2017 SAVEUR Blog Awards. That’s no small feat! I admire the hard work and passion you and your JOC team put into each detailed recipe. I enjoy reading all of the content. The pictures and videos complete the circle.
Hi Russell, You have no idea how much your kind words meant to Nami and JOC team!
Thank you very much for your love and support. 💕
You are wonderful ,such a kind person and your recipes are fabulous. Thanks so much.
My daughter-in-law is Japanese and I’m sending some of these recipes to my granddaughter who is interested in cooking. Again thanks so much
Hi Carol! Thank you very much for your kind words! Nami read your comment, and she was so happy!☺️
Thanks for collecting these recipes into an e-book! I was wondering if it can be downloaded to an Android device, I did find the answer to that in the previous comments. I also agree with others, it would be great to have it available in actual paper form, especially if you are including the nice pictures. In the meantime, I will continue to print out my favorites on paper and put them in my 3-ring binder; that’s how I cook from most of my favorite recipes.
Hi Julie, Thank you very much for trying many recipes! The current e-book has selected 33 easy and simple recipes in PDF format and can be downloaded to an Android device. However, Kindle will not support graphics, so it would not be the same. The print version has it in the same format with pictures (selected 33 easy and simple recipes only), and it’s available on Amazon (https://amzn.to/35Ahqge). Thank you very much for your love and support! 💕
Please excuse me, but. I’m having a great deal of trouble locating where to leave my information to purchase a copy of JOC. Is it here? I really want to purchase it! I’ve made some of the recipes and I’ve loved them. Before COVID, I had planned to visit Japan last spring—in fact, I was even taking a Japanese language class! Looks like my trip will be postponed this year as well, but at least I can enjoy all the wonderful dishes I’m learning how to make. Looking forward to purchasing the cookbook when I receive your information. Thank you!
Hi Julie, Thank you very much for your interest in purchasing the cookbook. Currently, only the eBook includes 33 easy and simple recipes here are available. If you are looking for a print version of the eBook, we have it available on Amazon (https://amzn.to/35Ahqge). Thank you!
