The COOK-ZEN Cook Book - Lake Isle press New York
This is an English book about making Japanese dishes with Cook-zen. When I was asked to cook a full-course meal in New York, I used a Cook-zen to prepare more than 10 types of meals and served it to my customers. One of the customers who praised all of the dishes was the president of a publishing company. Everyone was impressed by the fact that everything was cooked in a microwave oven. So came the birth of Cook's first English book about Japanese dishes using Cook-zen.
The Cook-Zen Way to Eat - Lake Isle press New York
The second English Cook-zen book. Reacting to the demands from the publishers for recipes that will appeal to Americans and Europeans, I introduce several recipes centered on Western-style dishes that can be easily and deliciously prepared. I was told by the president of the publisher to "never give up!!" until the Cook-zen sells all over the US. That was the reason why we released the third English book covering Japanese sweets.

Curry 10 minutes New era-Nisso Institute Publishing

Starting from the town of Bodh Gaya, where Buddha was enlightened, we went around New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, etc., entered the kitchens of restaurants and hotels, and visited local families to thoroughly study curry. Since Indian curry is associated with high amounts of oil and heart diseases, we aimed to create a healthy curry. All of the recipes were carefully tasted and designed so that it can be easily made within 10 minutes.
