Japanese Superfoods cover

Discover the secrets of Japanese superfoods and learn how you can incorporate them in your daily meals!

Yumi Komatsudaira grew up in her family's seaweed shop, snacking on the green treats on which her family built their health-based culinary business. Now she shares the secrets of healthy eating that have guided the Japanese for ages.

Superfoods are the life-giving ingredients that our bodies need for balance, wellness, healing, and longevity. Cholesterol-reducing, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, gut-healthy—the list of their benefits goes on and on. The Japanese—who face fewer health issues, less obesity, and have longer lifespans than those in other countries—have long known the power of these key ingredients.

In this book, Komatsudaira combines her extensive expertise with ocean vegetables and Japanese cooking to show you how to create simple, delicious, and super-healthy Japanese-style meals at home.

The power-packed, super-nutritive dishes include:

  • Red Quinoa Salad with Hijiki and Kabocha
  • My Grandma's Scattered Sushi Bowl
  • Napa Cabbage, Potato and Bacon Miso Soup
  • Edamame Hummus
  • Yakitori Grilled Chicken Wings
  • Okinawa-Style Braised Kombu and Pork
  • Matcha Cheesecake
  • Kombu Smoothies with Lemon Yogurt and Blueberries

Unlock the power of nature's goodness, Japanese style. Japanese Superfoods allows you to discover a healthier way to eat while opening a whole new world of flavor and power-packed nutrition.

"In her new book Japanese Super Foods, Yumi-san has produced a feast for your eyes and your table…Classic Karaage (Japanese fried chicken), miso soup and chirashizushi are included with a special Yumi-twist. Creative dishes like Vegan Tantan-Men with a nest of noodles in flavorful broth made of Tahini, shiitake stock and kombu water illustrate her inventiveness. The super talented Yumi-san brings Japanese super food to us all." --Debra Samuels, author of My Japanese Table: a Lifetime of Cooking With Friends and Family
"Yumi makes it approachable and exciting to dive into the culture of delicious food that is also filled with health superpowers. As a Registered Dietitian and lover of Japanese food for the taste and health benefits, this cookbook is a true gem." --Torie Silverstone, MS, RD
"Many do not realize the superfood value of Eastern fare--seaweed rich in calcium and fatty, oily fishes stocked with Vitamin D. Yumi brings these together Eastern staples in , and makes them accessible to the Western world" --Christen Marie Russo, MD FAAOS FAOA, Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, Columbia University Irving Medical Center
