🥢You’re in Portland so this is gonna be an applicable rec. I worked at one of their locations in high school and they would hotbox the restaurant at close which is unrelated to the quality of the food but I genuinely think it’s one of the tastiest spots in town, specifically their miso. It was owned by an old, old restaurant tycoon man from Japan named Yoshi San and he flew all the employees (servers, line cooks, all of them) out to Vegas when they established the Beaverton location which I think is hilarious, but there’s also one downtown near PSU. They also have locations in Vegas and San Diego I think. Another Portland rec (kind of out towards hillsboro/Nike campus) is Koku Ramen, owned by family friends who are some of the sweetest people in the world and make a mean fucking Tonkotsu. Their sides (karaage & calamari particularly) hit like crazy.

🍜Particularly when traveling to Tokyo, where there are like a dozen different places in Shimokitazawa, Nakameguro, Shinjuku or Roppongi that feel like my platonic ideal of Japanese culture/society. Sit in your booth, put your earbuds in, float on a sea of tonkatsu broth. Ahhhh.
