"At downtown Portland’s Courier Coffee, Japanese shaved ice pop-up Soen draws a crowd with its fluffy ice mountains drizzled with house-made syrups. It’s worth getting there early to snack on inari and nori-maki before moving on to dessert. The vegan-friendly kakigori arrives in flavor combinations like the traditional matcha with sweetened adzuki beans and tofu mochi or the summery strawberry mango with coconut condensed milk. Keep an eye on Soen’s Instagram for operating hours and seasonal specials." - Waz Wu
