Food, Language, and Society: Communication in Japanese Foodways

This book investigates how intricately language, food, and culture interact in Japanese society and culture. Natsuko Tsujimura approaches the language of food in Japanese as a vital component of communication by examining intrinsic mechanisms of the language and the broader social meaning it brings to society.
