Here's what our book's going to look like


The publisher for our Japanese-language wine book sent a sales sheet today. This is what the company's sales staff will use to peddle the product to bookshops.

Just thought you might enjoy a quick look. The book is due out in June. I'll be doing a Japanese-language media tour of some kind for it, so hopefully by then I can remember how to say "malolactic fermentation" in Japanese.

Fortunately, Japanese has only one word for delicious: "oishii." I anticipate using that a lot.

Very cool. My congrads to you and Mami for crossing the finish line. I hope the prize is a large one. The photo works pretty well, but wow is that a busy cover. Very Japanese.

No worries, it's not the cover, just the sales sheet. It's my hope that it keeps the sales people busy!

Re. only "oishii":

Is the b/c there are not too many foods that qualify as "delicious" in Japanese cuisine? Are there other words better-suited for their description?
