Just like you would say Klingon food {tlhIngan Soj} (cf. Conversational
Klingon and Skybox card S21): *China*ngan Soj, *Japan*ngan Soj,
*America*ngan Soj. Note that these would refer to food of the Chinese,
Japanese or American people, not the place.
There is another pattern which refers to the place, not the people: e.g.
Romulan ale {romuluS HIq}, or that famous alcoholic beverage {HIq} that
comes from Romulus. So if you want to talk about the food of China, Japan
or America you would just say *China* Soj, *Japan* Soj, *America* Soj.
