Best books to learn Japanese home cooking, in order

Japanese home cooking rests on a small set of foundations, so learn them before the dishes. Start with dashi, rice, and the seasoning backbone of miso, soy, and mirin, then everyday staples, then composing balanced meals from donburi to simple ramen. Get dashi and properly cooked rice right first, and dozens of dishes open up; skip them and everything tastes vaguely off.
