History
editThe original noodle shop opened at the base of Mount Afuri in 2001. Founder Hiroto Nakamura partnered with Taichi Ishizuki to open a location in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood in 2016.[2] Since then, three additional locations have opened in the Portland metropolitan area, in downtown and northwest Portland as well as Beaverton. There are also locations in California,[3] Canada (Vancouver), Hong Kong, Portugal, and Singapore.[4]
In 2020, plans were announced to expand into northwest Portland.[5] The restaurant opened in the Northwest District's Slabtown district in 2022.[6][7]
