Ms Fazzari's profiles are rather like sketches from the culture section of a weekend newspaper. There isn't much about the training of the chefs and their rise in their profession. If they trained overseas there is little discussion of why they returned to Japan to work. The short summaries of personal philosophies hardly helps us to understand how personalized food theory is translated into a restaurant experience, and the recipes presented with each vignette are too short and disconnected from the text. (The link between text and application is the strength of Relæ.)
I can't imagine how the book would be relevant. I almost never stop over in Japan and even if I do I would be hosted by someone or some company who will host me, so I don't need this book. Independent short-stay visitors and tourists will choose restaurants based on their itinerary, prior research on the intended stopovers, and whether they can get a reservation, so they don't need this book. Serious food hunters will use in-depth research and personal introductions to make their choices, not this little book. So who's it for?
