Explore the enchanting world of Japanese folklore with 'Japanese Tales of Lafcadio Hearn,' a remarkable collection of 28 captivating stories that illuminate the rich tapestry of Japan's cultural heritage. Authored by the esteemed Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), this trade paperback edition from Princeton University Press showcases Hearn's unique ability to blend Western literary sensibilities with traditional Japanese narratives.

Each tale is a window into the soul of Japan, reflecting Hearn's deep admiration and understanding of the country's art, folklore, and customs.

With a thoughtful introduction by Andrei Codrescu and a foreword by Jack Zipes, this collection is not just a book of stories; it is an exploration of identity and culture through Hearn's eyes as a foreigner who embraced Japan.

Does the job
Tastes like boiled oysters, so it has that nailed down. I use it in my shrimp ramen noodles sometimes, sometimes I use it to flavor garnish dishes. Best price I could find, but apparently it is a specialty product.

Unparalleled source of heme iron.
This stuff is medicine if your are anemic or have low serum iron. Elemental iron from veggies or pills must be prepared by your body to carry oxygen in hemoglobin. Not so with iron from animals and oysters are unparalleled in iron content. Even if you don't find them delicious you will find them efficacious.

Edible, though barely. Definitely the worst tasting oysters I've tried of all the brands. Hopefully I don't get food poisoning as has been reported by other reviewers.

High quality product.
Warmth? I’m not sure what that means. I make a simple dish out of these, some milk, butter and salt and pepper—then I “warm” it up. They’re a little pricey but the quality and taste/flavor is great. I would definitely buy them again.
