Recipes From a Japanese Home Kitchen
Umai is an introduction to the comfort and serenity of Japan; it is an exploration and celebration of a culture deeply rooted in food.
With over 80 delicious dishes that evoke the country’s rich heritage, Umai covers easy lunches, family favorites and classics designed for sharing, as well as simple and sweet desserts. Woven between the recipes are passages that will transport you to the enticing eateries of Japan. Venture to a traditional izakaya for classic small plates and recreate this at home, warm your soul at a no-frills hole-in-the-wall teishokuya or delve into unmissable delicacies at a local Japanese bakery – there’s plenty to guide you through what to expect on your journey.
Take this as your invitation to enter the Japanese home kitchen and gain a local’s perspective on a cuisine that is known and loved around the world.

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.
