In 1908, people from Japan began moving to Brazil to work on coffee plantations.（1908年，日本人开始移居巴西，在当地的咖啡种植园工作。） Over the next 50 years, more than 200,000 Japanese immigrated to Brazil.（在接下来的50年里，超过20万名日本人移民到了巴西。） They brought traditional Japanese culture and food with them.（他们随身带来了传统的日本文化和饮食习俗。） Today, over 1.5 million people of Japanese descent (called nikkei) live in Brazil.（如今，超过150万名日裔后代（称为日系人，nikkei）生活在巴西。） Most of them live in São Paulo.（他们中的大多数都定居在圣保罗。）

In the 1980s—three generations after the first nikkei settled in Brazil—a reverse migration began to take place.（20世纪80年代——在第一代日系人定居巴西三代人之后——一场逆向移民潮开始出现。） Over 300,000 Japanese-Brazilians moved to Japan, mainly to work in electronics and automobile factories.（超过30万名日裔巴西人迁居日本，主要在电子和汽车工厂工作。） Many settled in Hamamatsu, a city on the east coast of Japan.（许多人定居在日本东海岸的滨松市。） Most Japanese-Brazilians spoke only their native language (Portuguese).（大多数日裔巴西人只讲母语（葡萄牙语）。） They also missed the foods and culture of Brazil.（他们也十分思念巴西的美食和文化。） Over time, a number of Brazilian restaurants and stores opened in Hamamatsu.（随着时间的推移，滨松市陆续开设了许多巴西餐馆和商店。） Today, there is still a large Brazilian population in the city.（如今，该市依然生活着庞大的巴西人群体。） All over Hamamatsu, food shops and restaurants sell traditional Brazilian foods, such as pão de queijo (a type of bread) and feijoada (a bean stew with beef and pork).（在滨松的大街小巷，食品店和餐馆售卖着传统的巴西美食，例如芝士面包球（pão de queijo）和巴西黑豆炖肉（feijoada）。）
