Japan and Brazil have a long and rich shared history. The two countries are linked through immigration, business, and culture. There is no better way to introduce yourself to Brazilian culture than through its food, drinks, and music. All are available to experience in our list of the best Brazilian restaurants and event spaces in Tokyo.

The immigration of Japanese people to Brazil began in 1908, and current nikkei and sansei are celebrating their hybrid identity and are eager to share this with the world. In fact, the mix of Japanese and Brazilian culture is evident in the Brazilian food of Tokyo. The exuberance of Brazilian flavors like paprika is mellowed by the subtlety of the Japanese palette. While black coffee and caipirinha cocktails are considered the national drinks of Brazil, street foods and barbecue are staples of Brazilian cuisine, and all can be found within this list.

Music is also a major part of Brazilian culture and celebration. Many of our suggestions are bars with live music events and regularly scheduled performances from local or touring groups. Immersing oneself in samba and bossa nova is undoubtedly a rare experience in Tokyo, but not doing so leaves you wondering what it would feel like to enjoy the groove of the rhythmic music. For a lively night out with friends, why not try one of these Brazilian venues and get to know a culture that is so important to Japan?
