Unlike most of its neighbors, it does not sport a large red lantern outside to grab your attention. Nor are you greeted by raucous revelry as you...

Dig into 400 years of local history with a roast beef dinner

Take a little bite of Portugal's egg tart

Portugal has plenty to answer for when it comes to the way Japan eats. Tempura, castella sponge cake and even bread — paõ in Portuguese, pan in Japanese — were all assimilated following the arrival of the first trading ships in the mid-16th century.

Dads, in Japan and elsewhere, never quite believe that their daughters are grown up and gone, do they?
