Japanese cuisine has existed in São Paulo since the beginning of the 20th century, when Japanese workers began immigrating to Brazil to work on coffee farms. Japanese Brazilians adapted their native cuisine to incorporate the types of food available in Brazil, such as replacing rice with corn or cassava.
Until the 1980s, Japanese cuisine was not popular in São Paulo outside the Japanese Brazilian community. By the 1990s, Japanese restaurants were available throughout the city, including a type of fast food sushi restaurant called a temakeria that is unique to Brazil.
