The Best Japanese Food in Portland, Oregon and Its Suburbs | Eater Portland

"At this sandwich and pastry shop from the team behind Japanese ramen import Afuri, a pastry case filled with desserts — sweets like squares of caramel bread pudding, yuzu cream donuts, and miso chocolate chip cookies — entices diners on their way to the counter, where they order the restaurant’s signature sandwiches and savory fare. Ingredients such as pork loin, Oregon rockfish, and tofu get the katsu treatment before they’re sandwiched between two slices of Tanaka’s house-made shokupan. Fruit-and-whipped cream sandwiches are another fun option here." - Janey Wong
