[Liberdade (Sao Paulo)] A place where you can say "I'm home" during your journey.

São Paulo, Brazil, is home to the world's largest Japanese community. At its center is the Japanese town called Liberdade. Throughout the city, there are rows of torii-shaped street lamps, and Japanese restaurants, Japanese food stores, Daiso, and more. In this area where the history of immigration is alive and well, there were many moments during the trip where I felt nature and Japan. ⸻ 📍Location Liberdade, São Paulo, Brazil Just off the subway at Liberdade station/Easy access from the city center 🕰️Visiting time Can be visited all year round Restaurants and supermarkets are open from daytime to night (some stores close early on Sundays) 💸Estimated cost ・Ramen and tsukemen shops: 30-60 reais per bowl (about 900-1,800 yen) ・Supermarkets: Japanese ingredients such as miso, seaweed, dried noodles, and curry roux are available ・Daiso: Convenient with almost the same selection as in Japan (slightly higher prices) ⸻ 🌟Points ・High quality ramen and tsukemen are available, and the taste is just like in Japan ・A rare area where you can buy Japanese ingredients in bulk during a long trip ・There are immigration monuments and Japanese signs in the city, so you can feel the history and culture ・Open-air markets and Japanese cultural events are sometimes held on weekends ・Popular with local Brazilians, and often crowded on weekends ⸻ #Liberdade #Sao Paulo #JapanesetowninBrazil #Japanese food supply #South America trip #Around the world
