Fortune cookies, that staple of Chinese restaurants, was actually invented by a Japanese man in San Francisco:

“Fortune cookies were the invention of Japanese aristocrat Makoto Hagiwara, who emigrated to the United States at the turn of the 20th century. First sold in San Francisco at a midwinter exhibition in 1909, today the number of fortune cookies made globally each year could number in the billions”
