Today I’m partnering with Tuttle Publishing to give away one (1) copy of Tokyo Megacity by ! This giveaway contest is open to everyone worldwide.
This photographic Tokyo travel guide explores the dynamic Japanese culture, art and architecture that make Tokyo a world-class city.
It has been said that “every city has its high points, but Tokyo is all exclamation points!” The largest and most populous city in the world, Tokyo must be experienced in person to truly be understood. The next best thing? Tokyo Megacity—a visual and descriptive exploration of a city that combines old with new and traditional with trendy, like no other city in the world.
This extraordinary book explores Tokyo through 250 revealing photographs by well-known photographer Ben Simmons and over 30 essays by famed author Donald Richie. Their love of the city, their sense of its history, and the deep respect and pure joy felt in being here, shine through on every page. Simmons and Richie show us how modern Tokyo evolved from a patchwork of villages that still exist today as distinct neighborhoods and districts, to the modern, trendsetting metropolis renowned the world over—that combine to make Tokyo a unique and special place.
Tokyo Megacity presents the districts of the city in the order that they originally developed, starting with the Imperial Palace, sliding down to the “Low City” along the Sumida River, soaring back up to the “Mid-City,” and finally, climbing the hills to the newer districts of the “High City.” The combination of Ben Simmons’ photographs and Donald Richie’s text capture, as never before, the tremendous diversity, vitality and sheer livability of the megacity that is Tokyo.
Tuttle Publishing has amazing collection of books, especially topics extending in Asian and Japanese cultures. You can start checking out their bestsellers if you are looking for new books to read. I will be giving away more books in the future with Tuttle Publishing, so stay tuned!

DEAR NAMIKO…..
I DIDN’T SELECT ONE OF YOUR CHOICES…
I ALREADY GET YOUR NEWSLETTER…
I DON’T BELONG TO ANY OF THE SOCIAL NETWORKS…
NOR DO I WISH TO BELONG TO ANY OF THEM…
I DO ENJOY YOUR NEWSLETTER…..
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS ALONG WITH EACH RECIPE?
LIKE ONE OFTEN FINDS AT THE END OF RECIPES IN MAGAZINES FOR EXAMPLE..
I LIKE THE IDEA OF HAVING A WAY FOR EVERYONE TO EXCHANGE IDEAS ON YOUR WEBSITE….
I LOVE YOUR WORLD GIVEAWAY CONTESTS ….
I HAVE A FUN STORY TO TELL…
SO THAT YOU CAN FULLY APPRECIATE THIS TALE….
I MUST BEGIN BY CLARIFYING THAT I AM AN ELDER CAUCASIAN WOMAN…
WHEN I WAS ABOUT 5/6 YRS OLD…
I LIVED IN NO. HOLLYWOOD/SAN FERNANDO VALLEY/LA AREA/SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA…..
THERE WERE VERY FEW PEOPLE OF COLOUR LIVING NEAR TO ME THEN….
I RECALL A TINY SPANISH NEIGHBORHOOD…
ALSO A SMALL GROCERY/PRODUCE STAND NEAR OUR HOUSE OWNED BY ARABIC/EGYPTIAN FOLKS…
AT THAT VERY YOUNG AGE I FIRMLY AND LITERALLY BELIEVED….
I WAS GOING TO GROW UP TO BE JAPANESE….
AND A GEISHA….
OF COURSE I DIDN’T KNOW THAT I COULDN’T GROW UP TO BE A DIFFERENT RACE….
AND AS FAR AS I CAN REMEMBER….
I NEVER HAD ANY EXPOSURE TO ANYTHING OR ANYONE JAPANESE……
UP TO THAT POINT IN MY YOUNG LIFE….
HOW I CAME TO THAT BELIEF I CANNOT EXPLAIN….
I JUST KNOW THAT IT WAS A VERY REAL AND FIRM BELIEF….
AND I STILL ENJOY FANTASIZING ABOUT IT BEING A REALITY…
UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GO TO JAPAN….
I’VE ALWAYS LONGED TO GO THERE…
I FANTASIZE ABOUT DOING THAT TOO…
SO STUMBLING UPON YOUR WEBSITE..
VIA GOOGLING SHABU SHABU…
OR MAYBE IT WAS ON AMAZON…
IS THE NEXT BEST THING…..
THANK YOU….
I LIVE IN NO CALIFORNIA NOW…
NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO…
I REALLY ENJOY VISITS THERE TO THE JAPANESE CULTURAL CENTER…
AS WELL AS THE JAPANESE TEA HOUSE/GARDEN IN GOLDEN GATE PARK….
AND OF COURSE THE PLETHORA OF DELICIOUS JAPANESE/SUSHI RESTAURANTS….
YUMMMMMMMMY…..
AND MORE RECENTLY…
QUITE A FEW SHABU SHABU ONES…
WHICH I’VE YET TO TRY….
VERY RECENTLY…
I PURCHASED AN ELECTRIC SHABU SHABU APPLIANCE ON AMAZON….
IT’S YET TO BE USED FOR SHABU SHABU…
IT HAS SEVERAL FUNCTIONS…
SUCH AS GRILLING/SAUTEING/FRYING….
IT’S ALSO QUITE SMALL…..
THIS SUITS MY TINY APT KITCHEN VERY WELL….
REALLY……..
IT’S AN ENORMOUS CHALLENGE…..
TO COOK WHERE THERE IS ALMOST NO HORIZONTAL SURFACES!
IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN…
EVEN THOUGH I’M A FAIRLY GOOD COOK…
I WANT IT ALL….
AND I WANT IT BROUGHT TO ME……:)
PEACE, JOY & LAUGHTER BE YOURS….
WITH LOVE…
STELLA AND MIMI [the most beautiful Maine Coon kitty-girl in all the world]

I like the wide variety of your recipes. My daughter recently returned from Japan…your video helped us with our ‘pot stickers’.
Just found and liked you in Pinterest. Great ideas and recipes!
LOVE just one cookbook! Although I am Japanese, my mother never cooked Japanese food and neither of my parents speak Japanese. I am discovering how much I love Japanese food!
Hi Namiko,
I wish to stay connected with you via email subscription which I have already have. I enjoy your stories as well as your recipes very much.
Wish to visit Nara soon.
