Rice and beans, grilled meat and farofa are easy to make in Japan with a few swaps. Brazilian shops in towns like Oizumi (Gunma) or Hamamatsu, and online shops, cover the rest.
Everyday supermarkets have rice, beans, sausages and beef. Brazilian grocery shops and online shops sell black beans, cassava flour (farinha de mandioca) and pão de queijo mix. KALDI sells tapioca starch.
