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:

Nami; just wondering if you also sell hard copies of “Just one Cookbook
You may have a link and I just missed finding it. If you have printed volumes one would be a welcome addition to my cooking Library………… Thank You; Mike
Hi Mike! Thank you so much for your interest! I’m sorry but I do not have a hard copy of Just One Cookbook… Maybe one day when it’s the right timing and good opportunities come, I’ll work on a hard copy of my cookbook. 🙂
Do you have hard copy of your cookbook rather than e-recipes for purchase.
Hi Adeline! I only sell e-Book. Hard book… maybe one day. 🙂
Thanks. I look forward to it.
Hi,
I registered for your blog, and will, more than likely, get your e-cookbook as well!
Was wondering about a few things:
1. I have a MacBook Pro, an iPad, and an iPhone 6s. Should I order this on the computer, or will it still work if I order it on the cell phone? Once ordered, where is the pdf stored, and can I access the ebook on all of my devices, or is there a limit as to how many devices you can access it on?
If my daughters, who live with me, want to look at it, will they be able to download it to their devices somehow?
2. I subscribed to your blog, as I mentioned, and selected the weekly update. Would the weekly update still contain travel and other articles, or just recipes and I would need to go to the website/blog to see what has been posted? Should I have selected the daily emails/posts instead, and if so, how to I go about changing my selection? Can you choose both?
Thanks so much for your help, to both of you! We are from Hawaii (Maui) originally, since 1880’s when our ancestors came over straight from Portugal to Hawaii to work and live in the pineapple and sugar plantations, so we eat rice pretty much every day, and have always had a rice pot! We used to have the rice pot with a button you push down on with a heater button inside which the rice pot rests on; currently have a 10 cup zojirushi, which we’ve had for many years! A great pot, but one day I’d like to get a smaller pot, as it is quite large. As you can see, we are serious about our rice! I noticed you used a Le Creuset 5.5 qt. covered round Dutch oven. I also have that pot, as well as a 4 qt., a larger Dutch Oven, and a round braiser. Love them! Do you prefer rice (sushi rice/short grain) made in that vs the rice cooker, as I noticed you used one to make rice balls/squares?
Thanks again to both of you for your time, creating the blog, and the cookbook!
Hi Joyce! I apologize for my late response. I’ve been traveling in Japan and I haven’t been checking my comments. Sorry about that. Here are my answers:
1) Once you download the ebook, you can store the pdf file in anywhere you like – desktop, ipad, iphone… And please feel free to share it with your daughters. 🙂
2) Thank you for subscribing to my newsletter. I will be sending one later on (I have to work on it after this message). 🙂 You will get the NEW post updates through my weekly email. The new posts can be recipes, travel guides, cultures, any content that I publish to Just One Cookbook. If you want a specific recipe or browse my recipes, you have to go to my site and use search or categories to look around. Same for travel. You can read our travel guides under the Travel tab. If you click “Preference” under the newsletter (when you receive one), you can change the preferences anytime you like. My bi-weekly updates are automatic, you will just get notifiied quicker than my Friday weekly newsletter.
3) I love making my rice using Kamadosan (Japanese earthenware pot: https://aax-us-east.amazon-adsystem.com/x/c/Qqwd0VNDAXjM9RAA1wRer0gAAAFsCmchFQEAAAFKAW7OUEg/https://assoc-redirect.amazon.com/g/r/https://amzn.to/2URpTmT?linkCode=w61&imprToken=ipyQSkyIMZrpt6mNb32M.Q&slotNum=473). I haven’t shared the recipe yet (as I feel like it’s not something everyone has in their kitchen) but I believe this is by far the best way to make rice. 🙂
Thank you very much for your kind words about my blog!
Wonderful book! Thanks. I’m using amazon to get it, hope that’s ok with you. I am old school in some ways and would have liked to have a printed version but I can live with ebook. You know, something to prop up on the counter… 😉
Looking to becoming more familiar with your youtube videos too. Living in Hi there are so many opportunities to eat so many different Asian types of foods… but not the home cooking which I’m seeing in your ebook.
Mahalo,
M
Mahalo Michael! I’m sorry I don’t have a hardcover copy of my eBook. Maybe one day… when I have more time. 🙂
Tell me if you are familiar with a Japanese dish that you stack the ingredients. A layer of cooked white rice, a layer of various sashimi cut in small pieces, a layer of chopped cucumber, a layer of avocado, and a layer of crispy fried onion. You can include eel sauce poured on or as I prefer soy sauce sweetened. I prefer mixing the ingredients as I layer.
What is the real name and do you know of this dish? I first bought it at a sushi shop in a grocery store, then started making it myself.
Hi Aubrey! Sounds like you’re talking about a donburi dish, but more westernized a bit (with fried onion and eel sauce over). In Japan, “various sashimi” over rice is called Kaisen Don(buri).
https://www.google.com/search?q=%E6%B5%B7%E9%AE%AE%E3%81%A9%E3%82%93%E3%81%B6%E3%82%8A&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS727US727&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiOoKSdoMfiAhUECnwKHbWhBPkQ_AUIESgC&biw=1614&bih=931
As you see, no eel sauce or fried onion, but it’s more like sashimi over rice.
Similarly, it’s also called Chirashi Sushi, but it’s usually in a lacquer box.
Chirashi sushi has 2 meanings in Japan and I mentioned in this post: https://www.justonecookbook.com/chirashi-sushi/
Any chance of a Print on Demand version of your cookbook?
Thanks,
Joe
Hi Joe! Thank you for your interest! I don’t have a hard book cover. Maybe one day I’ll work on it. 🙂
How do I find the recipe for baked Mochi rice cakes with sauce made with soy sauce? These where found in squares about the size of Rice Chex cereal when I was in Japan and did not have any other type rice cake mixed in, only these. And we called them Okaki.
All help appreciated.
Hi Steve! Osenbei or Okaki is what you’re looking for. I only have the deep fried version (https://www.justonecookbook.com/rice-cracker-recipe/) but you can also bake them too. 🙂
Hi, I truly enjoy receiving your recipes and more enjoyable, your comments and information about ingredients. I focus on Japanese monastic cooking, shoojin ryoori, for health and philosophical reasons. Your information about kombu was most informative
Hi Earl! Thank you so much for your kind feedback and I’m really happy to hear you enjoy my blog and blog posts!
Hi Nami!
I’ve bought your e-book a while ago I really appreciate it, it’s useful and beautiful at the same time, it’s a pleasure to read it!
I’d like to have a printed copy of it for me and another one for my sister-in-law, because I showed her and her husband your videos and they really liked them, so I though of giving it to them as a gift. (Side note: both of them and my wife are Okinawans’ descendants :D)
But, I can’t do that without your permission. So, am I allowed to print it for my personal use? And what about a copy for my sister-in-law? If only the second copy is a problem, can I buy another copy online to compensate for the second print?
Feel free to answer as you’d like! I can only imagine the amount of work you put into this book, so I want to be fair to you.
Regards,
Hi Carlos! Thank you for purchasing my ebook and thank you for your kind feedback. If it’s for personal use (not for purpose of selling), I’m okay that you print out my ebook. 🙂
Hi Nami! That’s great, thanks for your attention!
Nami,
Congratulations on the cookbook.
I really enjoy Japanese food. Plan to source out a Japanese store, probably in Vancouver BC.
Meanwhile I will continue to watch your fascinating presentations.

Hi Pamelah! Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m happy to hear you enjoy Japanese food.
Have you checked this list of Japanese grocery stores around your neighborhood?
https://www.justonecookbook.com/japanese-grocery-stores-around-the-world/
I like your recipes. It is really works. I would like to purchase the hard copy. May I know where I can get it?
Hi Stephanie! Thank you so much for your interest in my cookbook. I only have e-cookbook for now… 🙂
Hi, I don’t seem to be able to see the ebook anywhere. I just bought it using PayPal. Thanks
Hello! Thank you so much for purchasing my eBook! It’s automatically sent to the PayPal email address once payment is received. It looks like this email address and PayPal are the same address. Could it be in spam folder? I’ll manually send it now. Please check in the spam folder as well. I’ll be happy to assist you. Let me know if you still have some issues. 🙂
Hi,
I am obviously late to the party and found myself both excited and overwhelmed by all the content on this webpage. I am so happy this eCookbook exists and grateful that you filtered the most popular AND easy recipes for me! Oh and the design is so wonderful!
It’s not so easy dining at Japanese restaurants with a toddler, so I’m ready to start trying to cook my own at home. Thank you, this book will make a big impact on me and improve my cooking!
Hi Sonic! Welcome to my website and I’m happy to hear you found my site! Hope this ebook will inspire you to cook at home! 🙂
I absolutely love your website. I love Japanese food and your websites is my inspiration for almost 99% of the times. So amazing you made your first cookbook!
If you will ever release your ebook as a physical book I would definitely order it!
Hi Miki! Thank you so much for reading my blog! Hope I will get a chance to write a book one day in the future! Thank you for your interest and support! xo
I’m trying to buy the book but for some reason Pay Pal are not accepting the payment. Can I pay directly with my Credit Card avoiding Pay Pal ?
Hi Hazime! Yes, you can use your credit card to pay instead of paypal, but you will be using your credit card on paypal website (Follow “Pay with Debit or Credit Card” link and you will be checking out as a guest on Paypal website). Thank you so much for your interest in buying my eBook!
I purchased the cookbook on 8/26/18 but did not find it on my iPad. I used PayPal and confirmed with them that it was paid. Please let me know what I can do.
Thank you.
Hi Linda! Mr. JOC has responded to you. Please let me know if you have any question. We’re happy to help! 🙂
Thank you so much. I was able to download the book. Now I look forward to trying some of the recipes. I appreciate the quick response.
Take care.
Hi Linda! I’m glad to hear you got it! Enjoy, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. 🙂
