Join us at Noe Valley’s Omnivore Books as author Sarah Marx Feldner reads from her new cook book, A Cook’s Journey to Japan.

At twenty-eight, Sarah had a great job at a growing food magazine and a bungalow all her own. But rather than feeling a sense of security, Sarah found herself “painfully bored, feeling scarily trapped and stuck.” So she did what anyone would do—quit her job, sold her house and moved to Japan.

Having spent time in Japan teaching English as a second language four years prior, Sarah returned to explore her love of food, cooking and Japanese cuisine. A Cook’s Journey to Japan is the result of her adventures traveling throughout Japan, sampling home cooking and collecting recipes from everyday people.

After graduating from college with a degree in Spanish, Sarah Marx Feldner headed to Japan to teach English for a year. There, she found a countryside, cuisine and overall aesthetic she quickly fell in love with. A few years later, back in Japan, Sarah traveled the country—from the top of Honshu to the tip of Kyushu—collecting recipes and stories from as many people as would share them. This book, her first, is the culmination of that journey.
