About the book: 2010 / Let me present to your attention the collection "Little Japanese Tricks", containing tips on housekeeping accumulated by many generations of Japanese housewives. A lot of attention is paid to home education in Japan. It is still an integral part of education. From an early age, children learn housekeeping skills from their parents. They, in turn, received this knowledge from their parents. Despite technological progress and the abundance of various equipment in the kitchen, home education allows you to run your household more economically and efficiently. Thanks to traditional home education, I have learned many little tricks that I would love to share with you. In the book you will find tips on how to use the simplest things to save your energy and money. Since housekeeping in Russia and Japan is based on largely similar products, these little tricks are universal; they will be useful in both Russia and Japan. This is my first book of "Little Japanese Tricks" taken from the Japanese way of life. It focuses on food and cooking. In subsequent books, I plan to reveal to you the secrets of Japanese cuisine and household management that will be useful in everyday life. I hope that “Little Japanese Tricks” will not only benefit you and make daily housekeeping easier, but will also bring you closer to your understanding of the traditional Japanese way of life.
