    I was brought up in a home that had no books. My hard-working parents were so involved in keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table that there was no money for books and little time for reading. Sounds a bit like a sketch from "Monty Python", doesn't it? Fortunately for me , they saw the benefits that a good education can produce and, over the years, I attended four tertiary institutions to gain academic qualifications, the final one being a Ph.D. I had a period in the British Army ( Intelligence Corps), serving mainly in Europe. I ran a marathon once – and once was enough! I taught in 2 Primary schools and specialised in English in three High schools and three uni's. Publishers in The U.K. , Australia and the U.S.A have been brave enough to publish 14 of my books- all educational - mostly non-fiction, factual stuff. I've also written children's stories, and recently quite a few e-books. I’ve enjoyed it and it's kept me out of mischief!

      Foreword

      You probably know that Japan (a mountainous, forest-covered country with many volcanoes and natural wonders) has a unique culture, famous for, among other things, its temples, shrines and museums and for its kabuki ( dance-drama), its tea ceremonies, its sumo wrestling  and its advanced technologies.

      If you are less aware of Japan’s unique cuisine – rich in gastronomic delights - this book will give you an insight into its uniqueness.

      The Japanese are noted for their gracious hospitality and their service in restaurants They  go to enormous lengths to cook fresh food so that its delicate and subtle natural flavors are preserved. Great care is taken to present dishes in an aesthetically-pleasing way. They delight in producing a cuisine that seduces the eye as well as the palate!

      In Japan it is polite for a guest to say before eating itadakimasu , which mean I ( humbly) receive and for the host to say to a guest: Doozo takusan mitigate kudasai, which means Please eat a lot.

      The Japanese word for its traditional cuisine is washoku. This traditional cuisine has changed substantially with the introduction over the years of many international cuisines.

      Ni at the end of a word or phrase shows the relations between words in time, place and time, such as in, into, to, on, with, since, from etc.

      SHI-RU (with i as in hit, r rolled and u as in put)

      ORIGIN:

      Shiru (or jiru) is Japanese for soup, broth and juice.

      MEANING:
