The Japanese Pantry
From Sake to Soy, Essential Ingredients for Japanese Home Cooking
The Japanese Pantry is a follow up to Gohan: Everyday Japanese Cooking, Emiko's tribute to her mother's family and her soul food - Japanese home cooking.
In The Japanese Pantry, Emiko explores the pantry items essential to Japanese home cooking. Simple, easy-to-find ingredients that can be combined with fresh produce and a few other basics like tofu, rice and noodles to create delicious and authentic Japanese food no matter where you are.
Each chapter explores one of these essential ingredients - soy sauce, miso, rice vinegar, seaweed, sake, sesame and tea - including information about the history and production of these in Japan, as well as Emiko's thoughtful and approachable recipes.
In helping readers get to know these pantry essentials, Emiko hopes to give home cooks the confidence to make authentic Japanese dishes that are inherently simple and full of flavour.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
