While researching local Japanese restaurants I stumbled upon the Brazilian temakerias. In the late 20th century there was a large number of Japanese who immigrated to Brazil for farm work. They brought along there cuisine which merged with the local Brazilian food. Temakerias serve traditional Japanese temaki, or hand rolls, with local ingredients like fruit, salmon and cream cheese. There are also several Brazilian sauces used in the rolls to given them a unique flavor. They are notably larger then Japanese temaki rolls and ment to be eaten by hand. By the 1990's they became a popular fast food item in Brazil. If you visit a temakeria you will be trying Brazilian fusion not American fusion.
