Afuri



Afuri (also known as Afuri Izakaya) is a chain of ramen restaurants, based in Tokyo, Japan.

History
The 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. 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, Canada (Vancouver), Hong Kong, Portugal, and Singapore.

In 2020, plans were announced to expand into northwest Portland. The restaurant opened in the Northwest District's Slabtown district in 2022.
