In Washington State, or in the U.S., there are many Japanese restaurants, and we have opportunities to eat them without visiting Japan. At first when I came here, I surprised that many Americans were using chopsticks well, and they were eating Sushi or noodles. Also there are big Japanese grocery store, Uwajimaya, in Bellevue and Seattle. Everybody can see & get Japanese food anytime we want. However, even though you can find many of them in the vicinity, there are still more foods in Japan.
