Takes out a lot of the intimidation of creating Japanese styled sweets by substituting with modern methods. Straightforward too; many of the recipes look approachable enough to try. Great book for someone who has some baking experience but is new to Japanese cuisine.

I have a few Japanese baking books, but I find this one to be the most accessible and a great starter book.

Very straightforward. I feel like I could actually make the food in here with only minor adjustments to make things gluten free.

An easily adaptable book for those of us who have allergies.
Wonderful to see matcha but perhaps a little more yuzu?
