I bought these books and so far I've found the Joseki book extremely helpful. Unlike tsume problems, these books don't focus on singular solutions; rather, they break down various tactics and discuss why certain moves are optimal in various situations.

For an absolute beginning resource, I would recommend

It'll introduce you to the dropping mechanism and what pieces you need to checkmate. After that, I would recommend looking up tsume problems, either through books or the internet.

Unfortunately, a large chunk of the best shogi resources are going to be in Japanese and they're probably only going to be available as physical copies in Japan. But consider buying the books I linked, work on tsume problems wherever you can find them, and check out http://www.shogishack.net/.
