Whitewater is in Walworth County, where the county seat of Walworth village has been home to the Kikkoman soy-sauce factory for the last 40 years. It was a reasonable place to locate it due to its proximity to both the soybean fields of Wisconsin and the wheat fields of Iowa and Kansas. Many of the executives at the Kikkoman plant are from Japan and move their entire families to Wisconsin for their 5- to 10-year assignments here. Walworth schools offer an excellent course in Japanese as a second language, in which many native Japanese kids are available as tutors. Yowza, what a deal!
But, since these are fairly well-to-do executive families, for some odd reason nobody complains about the massive wave of JAPANESE immigrants in Walworth County.
