A practical and beautifully presented recipe set featuring popular Japanese cooking columnist Yuri Yamamoto, including Foodist Note magazine vol.1 and its special supplementary booklet, “Yuri Yamamoto’s Cafe Gohan BOOK.”
The supplementary recipe book showcases the approachable style that has made Yamamoto’s “syunkon cafe” recipes so popular. Rather than relying on complicated techniques or unusual ingredients, the recipes focus on familiar foods transformed into attractive, satisfying cafe-style meals that can be enjoyed at home.
The booklet covers an impressively broad selection of everyday dishes, including warming soups, hearty pasta, egg and rice dishes, pork, chicken, beef and fish meals, filling noodles, cafe-style breads, pies and galettes, potato dishes, and deli-inspired salads. It is particularly useful for anyone looking for new ideas for everyday lunches and dinners without making cooking unnecessarily complicated.
The main Foodist Note magazine vol.1 adds even more inspiration. Its cover highlights easy and delicious chicken breast recipes, along with useful ideas for make-ahead side dishes and hearty meat-topped bento meals. The emphasis throughout is on recipes that combine practicality with appetizing presentation.
One of the strongest appeals of this set is its balance between easy home cooking and stylish cafe presentation. The recipes are designed to fit naturally into everyday life while still helping make the finished meal look special. It is a great reference for weekday dinners, relaxed weekend lunches, homemade bento, meal preparation, or simply finding inspiration when deciding what to cook.
Set includes: ・Foodist Note magazine vol.1 ・Special supplement: Yuri Yamamoto’s Cafe Gohan BOOK
The printed retail price of the magazine is ¥1,320 including tax.
Recommended not only for fans and collectors of Yuri Yamamoto and the syunkon cafe series, but also for anyone interested in Japanese home cooking, easy recipes, chicken breast dishes, cafe-style meals, and practical meal-planning ideas.
A particularly enjoyable way to use the books is to recreate a cafe-style lunch at home: choose one main dish, add a colorful deli-style salad or soup, and serve everything on simple tableware. The recipes can also be incorporated into weekly meal preparation, making this a useful book set rather than something that simply sits on the shelf.
