As a person born and raised in Japan, Japanese food is something I miss even if I live abroad. There are so many Japanese restaurants in the United States, but especially in the countryside, most of them are run by Chinese and Koreans, and the taste is often "out of place".
* Of course, there are some Chinese and Korean-owned Japanese restaurants that have been trained and opened, and there are also delicious restaurants.
So, how can we find good Japanese restaurants?

Located in the city of Teaneck, New Jersey, this Yakitori 39 has very delicious yakitori and fresh sashimi. Furthermore, the tightened ramen (pork bones personally) is the best.
Hanamizuki Japanese Restaurant
8255 International Dr #136, Orlando, FL 32819
(407) 363-7200
http://www.hanamizuki.us/index.html
Hanamizuki is a name of flower dogwood. Hanamizuki restaurant is in Orlando, Florida, and I go there whenever I visit Orlando.
There is also a Japanese description on the website.
e.g. Kyoto, Kobe, Osaka
Kobe is popularly used for Hibachi (Teppanyaki) and Japanese Steakhouse, probably because Kobe implies premium Kobe beef. There are also many restaurants called Kyoto and Osaka, however, I have never had good experience there.
e.g. Sakura, Mikado
Why people love the name Sakura?
Also, there is a pattern that the Japanese of the store name is wrong.
e.g. Sushi and Kimchi, Sushi and Sesami Chicken
You can check food menu on restaurants websites or Google Map. If Japanese foods are served with non-Japanese foods such as Kimchi, Sesami Chicken, or Orange Chicken, the owners misunderstand what Japanese foods are.
The last tip may not sound special. Check reviews on Google Map or Yelp. If you see many Japanese people rating, the restaurants will most probably good ones.
I hope this article can help you to find good Japanese restaurants in the United States.

もうアメリカに住み始めて25年たちますが、このガイドは本当に合っていると思います。「有名な地名ははずれが多い」という指摘は正しいと思いますが、「あまり有名ではない地名は大丈夫」という付け足しはいかがでしょうか。私はジャージーシティにすんでいますが、フォートリーの「Yamagata」がだいすきです。
コメントありがとうございます。確かに「あまり有名ではない地名は大丈夫」というのもそうですよね。フォートリーにはよく行っていましたが、「Yamagata」は行ったことがありませんでした。次にアメリカを訪問する際には是非とも行ってみたいと思います!
