Japanese Americans (日系アメリカ人, Nikkei Amerikajin?) are Americans of Japanese descent who trace their ancestry to the Japanese Archipelago, the Kurile Islands, or the Ryukyu Islands, and are residents and/or citizens of the United States. Japan is a western Pacific Ocean multi-archipelagic nation east of China in Asia. Japanese Americans are a subgroup of East Asian Americans, which is further a subgroup of Asian Americans. Okinawa, a former independent nation, was annexed by Japan in the late nineteenth century. Japanese Americans have historically been among the three largest Asian American communities, but in recent decades have become the sixth largest (at roughly 1,204,205, including those of mixed-race or mixed-ethnicity). In the 2000 census, the largest Japanese American communities were in California with 394,896, Hawaiʻi with 296,674, Washington with 56,210, New York with 45,237, and Illinois with 27,702. Each year, about 7,000 new Japanese immigrants enter United States ports, making up about 4% of immigration from Asia; net migration, however, is significantly lower because some older Japanese Americans have been moving to Japan.

Most Americans like Asian food-- whether Chinese, Thai or Japanese sushi-- but most know little about it. But now there are tons of opportunities to go abroad and learn how to cook--and better appreciate-- Asian cuisine.
