Following the remarkable success of “Japanese New Year Dishes”, published by Fukuinkan Shoten Publishers in November 2024 and selling over 90,000 copies within its first month, author Yumi Uchida’s second picture book, “Various Foods“, has been published by Kaisei-sha.

This charming and interactive title invites little ones to guess what’s on the plate from its silhouette. As each page is turned, colourful foods in white, yellow, pink and more are revealed through beautifully detailed illustrations. Aimed at children aged two and up, it is a picture book full of enjoyment for both parents and children to share.
