Kyoto Ponto-chō @f4.5 NEX5

The name "ponto" was originally a Portuguese word, since this area has a shape of
narrow strip between two rivers. Portuguese named it at the late 16-th century.

Japanese still use lots of Portuguese origin words even today; kasutera, tempura, konpeitō,
oicho, pin-kara-kiri, etc. almost 200 words. Can you guess original words of these ones?
