Japanese-born Moriyama reveals the key to the enduring health and beauty of Japanese women. The Japanese eat one of the most delicious, nutritious, and naturally satisfying cuisines in the world without denial, without guilt, and, yes, without getting fat or looking old. If you think you've eaten Japanese food, you haven't tasted anything yet. Japanese home-style cooking isn't just about sushi and raw fish but good, old-fashioned everyday-Japanese-mom's cooking that's stood the test of time--and waistlines--for decades. Reflected in this are the age-old traditional values of family and the abiding Japanese love of simplicity, nature, and good health. It's the food that millions of Japanese women eat every day to stay healthy, slim, and youthful. Even better, it's fast and easy. If you're tired of counting calories, counting carbs, and counting on diets that don't work and don't satisfy, it's time to discover this.--From publisher description.
