Numbers you can check

No miracles. Just good food, understood.

Food writing is full of big promises. This book makes small, checkable ones. Here is where every number comes from.

  • Official food tables

    Every value is calculated per serving from the USDA National Nutrient Database (SR28), USDA FoodData Central and the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan (8th edition).

  • Rounded honestly

    Energy to the nearest 10 kcal, everything else to the nearest gram. Serving suggestions are not counted, and portions are never shrunk to make numbers look better.

  • Authorised wording only

    Percentages refer to EU reference intakes, and health statements follow the wording authorised under EU rules. No detox, no fat-burning, no superfoods.

What you will find

  • Real numbers for one serving of every dish
  • Plain-language notes on what nutrients do
  • Honest notes on raw fish, raw egg and rich portions
  • Safe cooking temperatures and kitchen conversions

What you won't find

  • Detox, fat-burning or superfood promises
  • Diet rules, meal plans or calorie shaming
  • Medical advice dressed up as a recipe

Kenji Hinokawa is a fictional chef character, and his photos and videos were created with the help of AI. The recipes, the grams and the nutrition calculations are real.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? Write to us and we will help.

What exactly do I get?

HINOKAWA Volume I as a PDF: 104 pages with 40 recipes from 20 countries in five chapters. Every recipe has its own body page, and the book ends with a pantry guide, kitchen notes (safety temperatures, salt and conversions) and a body index. You get two editions: HD (107 MB) for tablet, desktop and printing, and Light (32 MB) for phones. It is a digital book, not a printed one.

How do I receive it?

Right after payment, a download button appears on the order confirmation page, and the link also arrives by email. You get one ZIP file with both editions inside. There is nothing to ship and nothing to wait for.

Can I read it on my phone?

Yes. Tap the download button, open the ZIP in your phone’s Files app, then open the Light edition in Apple Books, Google Drive or any PDF reader. The contents page and bookmarks are clickable, so you can jump straight to a recipe.

Are the recipes difficult?

Half are level 1 (simple) and half are level 2 (a little practice). Every method has five steps or fewer, and 28 of the 40 dishes take 30 minutes or less of hands-on time. Some also need waiting time, such as marinating, soaking or chilling.

Do I need special ingredients?

Most ingredients are in any supermarket. A few Japanese basics, such as miso, shio-koji, mirin and dashi, are explained in the pantry guide. You will find them in Asian shops or online.

What units does it use?

Metric: grams, millilitres and °C. The kitchen notes include a conversion table for spoons, cups, ounces and °F.

Is Kenji Hinokawa a real chef?

No. Kenji is a fictional chef character, and his photos and videos were created with the help of AI. We say so in the book and on this site because you should know. The recipes, the grams and the nutrition calculations are real.

What if something is wrong with my file?

Write to us and we will fix it fast, with a new file or a refund. See the Refund policy for details.
