Thanks for reading my blog, but I would love to get some more comments :)
Today I'm gonna talk about Oshinbo, one of my favorite gourmet food manga series. The series is extremely popular in Japan making it to the top 10 food manga series for several decades and it has sold over 100 million copies. Not bad for a manga which started way back in the 1980's. The story is quite simple actually. One man. One publishing house, One Mission: To create the ultimate food experience of what is found in Japan (both exotic ''foreign'' dishes'' and traditional Japanese food). In total 7 books has been published in English, under the name ''Oishinbo a la carte'' which are books where there's one main topic, like sake, gyoza/ramen, sushi, pub food etc. You should be able to find it in your local manga store (in Oslo: Outland or on the net). I wrote a semester thesis on the relationship between Oshinbo and tradtional Japanese food culture and what I can say, the books are very entertaining and extremely detailed. Highly recommended by me.
