NikkeiWest was established in 1992 for the  English-speaking Japanese American community of Northern California. We provide news, information, articles of interest for the Nisei, Sansei and Yonsei generation.

News published in English-only

If you're looking to reach this viable American-born generation, this is the publication for you.
