6/16/2023 0 Comments Japanese karaoke hawaii![]() ![]() ![]() Poke restaurants, centered around the Hawaiian dish, also have food with Japanese influences. Japanese food has increased in popularity and availability, most notably in the history of sushi in the US and Top Ramen, plus in the 21st century, ramen restaurants. However, as several varieties of Japanese cultural influence in the US in general has increased over the years, it has further bolstered the uses of Japanese terminology in Hawaiʻi. Hawaiʻi is also unique in the United States in that Japanese loanwords often retain Japanese pronunciation, as in the tapped "r" sound even in words that have entered the American English dictionary such as " karaoke" and " karate." Such words have not been included here, nor have Japanese words which have entered the English language on a national level, such as " anime," ( ja:アニメ) " karaoke," ( ja:カラオケ) " samurai," ( 侍) and " sushi" ( ja:寿司). There are other Japanese words common among the Japanese American population (such as "okazu" and "obaachan"), but not as well-known among Hawaiʻi's general population.
