I have already tweeted and er, Facebooked (is that a word?) about this, but I got a nudge from a certain quarter to put it right here too. So here it is, tooting my own horn ^_^: The Just Bento Cookbook was selected by Amazon.com as one of the top 10 books in the Cooking, Food and Wine category in 2011 (so far)! I am in very good company there, with books with way bigger marketing budgets and stuff, so this is a really big honor.

But even more than that, I'm really happy that the book has been granted space on the cookbook shelves of so many of you! Every email or message I get about it really thrills me. Thank you, Amazon.com editors, and thank you, everyone who's bought the book! Arigatou!
