Umai

Umai explores Japanese home cooking through recipes shaped by everyday rituals, seasonality, and the culture surrounding the table.

Written by Millie Tsukagoshi Lagares, the book moves beyond restaurant cuisine to focus on the dishes prepared and shared at home. From comforting lunches and classic small plates to desserts and bakery favorites. Interwoven with personal stories and reflections on Japanese food culture, Umai captures a cuisine rooted in balance, craftsmanship, and connection.

More than a cookbook, Umai is a portrait of contemporary Japanese home cooking and the atmosphere surrounding it.
