In the past few years, Brooklyn's northernmost neighborhood, Greenpoint-once defined largely by its Polish and Puerto Rican populations; more recently, a relatively sleepy hipster hamlet-has seen a feedback loop emerge, with a wave of new Japanese businesses.
In 2013, a chef named Makoto Asamoto opened a (since shuttered) restaurant called Fort Greene, which joined the establishments Brooklyn Pancake House and Brooklyn Parlor (on the menu: roast chicken, Brooklyn Session I.P.A.). The coffee label Brooklyn Roasting Company has set up locations in Tokyo, and a neighborhood called Daikanyama, a destination for brunch and vintage clothing, is sometimes referred to as Little Brooklyn.
