The creation of the now ubiquitous California roll helped to propel sushi forward, as crab and avocado were more palatable to Americans than slabs of glistening raw fish. Cosmopolitan cities like New York and Chicago soon followed suit with sushi spots of their own, and by the late 1980s, sushi was a full-on craze, with an enormous rise in the number of Japanese restaurants towards the end of the decade and into the 1990s.

Between
1945 and ’72, the U.S. ruled the islands, and to this day the U.S.
military controls two of them — Kuba and Taisho. The U.S. used Kuba for
bombing practice until 1978. The status-of-forces agreement between
Tokyo and Washington says that “the facilities and areas used by the
United States armed forces shall be returned to Japan whenever they are
no longer needed for purposes of this Agreement.” Yet the pair of
islands remains under U.S. control 35 years after the U.S. last
conducted bombing runs there.

In fact, ex-yakuza members can have trouble fitting into normal society due to their missing digits. Fortunately for rehabilitated citizens, there are a few companies that can give them new fingers.
Perhaps influenced by Scandinavian smorgasbords, at some point in time “Viking” became the word used to describe buffets in Japan, and by extension certain all-you-can-eat promotions. The Japanese language lacks a “v” sound though, so the pronunciation became corrupted to baikin
U.S. ambassadors to Japan can be grouped into three categories, Nakayama said. They are big political names, Japan experts and those with close ties to the president. Former U.S. Vice President Walter Mondale and former Senator Mike Mansfield fall into the first type. Edwin Reischauer, President Kennedy’s envoy, would be the second.
