This is a book I found at a Friends of the Plymouth Library book sale. It is a children's picture book that gives an overview of sushi - ingredients, preparation and eating- along with some other concepts in Japanese culture.
It is presented as the tale of a talking fox learning from this old and successful sushi chef, Kikuchi. It is a cute tale, simple but informative, and cutely illustrated. Seriously, these illustrations have a simplistic design, almost like a children's cartoon, that is endearing.
The tale includes other tidbits of Japanese culture. The idea of the "Bento", or boxed lunch, is included here, as well as certain festivals like Boy's Day and Girl's Day.
It's a very quick read. It's the sort of thing to read aloud with your kids.
Trickster Eric Novels gives "Kikuchi's Sushi" an A+
