There are several Japanese words loaned from Portuguese and cuisine like melonpan, that was mostly from Jesuit missionaries from Portugal I think but that connection is interesting to me, some similar influences as South America.

Oh yeah definitely, I remember learning about that a few years ago. Also it's interesting that we have the largest population of Japanese people outside of Japan here because of the Japanese Immigration from 1908-1960.

Brazilian-Japanese and Peruvian-Japanese immigrants still make a large % of the immigrants currently living in Japan.
