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.… (meer)

What a nice find straight from the clearance shelves of Half Price Books! I'm a sucker for Asian cooking and diet books, so of course I picked this one up. It was definitely worth the $2!

The cutesie title is misleading: it's an obvious reference to the bestselling [b:French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure|106882|French Women Don't Get Fat The Secret of Eating for Pleasure|Mireille Guiliano|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1171567893s/106882.jpg|1770059], a marketing scheme to sell more books. Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat is less of a diet book and more of an exploration of the ties between food, family, culture, and history, with many delicious recipes sprinkled between stories.

While I'm not exactly fond of the name of this book, it definitely attracts attention because of it. This was a great book. Naomi Moriyama does a great job of speaking to her readers, sharing her own upbringing and experiences with traditional Japanese cooking, giving some very interesting insight into the history and reasons for certain Japanese foods and culinary customs, and provides delicious recipes throughout the book.

A smooth and smart read, Moriyama not only provides her personal insight on home-cooked Japanese cuisine, but defends the health merits of it all with statistics from various medical and culinary sources. ( )

Meh.

Total rip off from the ' French women don't get fat ' book, whether that is a true statement or not.

They say imitation is the best flattery, but not when it comes to writing books or creating the title, it just makes you look unoriginal and uninspiring.

Everybody gets old, if you live long enough so the title is ridiculous. ( )

This is an interesting book for someone who grew up in the middle of nowhere with little exposure to Japanese food. The author is great at explaining the health benefits of Japanese food and also at selling the Japanese lifestyle (not that I needed much convincing, hehe). I definitely will be trying out many of the recipes, though it was discouraging to see how many required egg as I am allergic. Also, it is difficult to find a lot of the ingredients for even the most basic foods in the book in my area, even at the wonderful Asian markets I frequent in a semi-nearby town. This is not a diet that impoverished people such as myself will be able to switch to and live off of due to the exotic (read: usually expensive!) nature of most of the ingredients, but I think that incorporating a lot of the principles from the book into my life will help me to be healthier, enjoy my food more, and maybe even lose weight. And every now and then I can splurge and buy ingredients to make miso soup. I'm even thinking of ordering seeds from the seed company mentioned near the end of the book so I can grow my own daikon.
As to the writing...it could be better. The last few chapters were pretty random and seemed to have been typed almost as a stream-of-consciousness exercise or something. I am very interested to learn more about the female samurai Tomoe, but feel that her story wasn't as relevant as a recipe actually using brown rice would have been.
So 3 of 5 stars. I would have given more stars for more recipes--there really aren't all that many in the book! I've been watching a lot of JapaneseCooking101 videos on youtube, though, and that has given me a much bigger base to work from. ( )

Meh.  For me. too much memoir and not enough nitty-gritty that I could find while trying to decide whether to carry it home or not.  I decided to let the librarian reshelve it, even though it's a small book and wouldn't take up a lot of room in my bag.
