Yes, for your donabe order, a package includes English instruction sheet which contains the basic usage instructions. The enclosed free booklet is part of the original Japanese package and it's orignally made for audience in Japan. We decided to keep it inside of the box, because some people appreciate the original look of it anyway. We don't have the exact English version of the booklet, but the English instruction sheet is made instead and all the essential information is there. Also, we offer a wide variety of original recipes in our website to help our customers with cooking inspirations.
