Fresh, High-Quality,
& Sustainable Sushi in Portland

Just like most of Japanese food culture, the core philosophy behind sushi-making is based upon a respect for the ingredients used, allowing their natural qualities to be highlighted. At AFURI, we ensure that our fish are sourced sustainably, meeting high standards of quality and freshness.

We then handle the fish with care and assemble it into sushi, sashimi, and more to highlight the diverse flavors and textures of fresh fish.

From Tokyo to Portland

We are proud to open our first location outside of Japan. Reasons abound for us to introduce our style of ramen to the Rose City, however Portland offered us something no other US city could; soft water from a pure source within close proximity.

Much like Mt. Hood, the Afuri mountain in Japan has long been revered as a sacred place of harvest; the unique geography creates ideal spring water, perfect for ramen making.

Portland’s ecosystem produces nearly identical beautiful water to that of our Japan locations. This water quality combined with the bounty of Pacific Northwest local farms & producers, allows us to create the highest quality ramen and Japanese food available.
