"The CEO of Tokyo-based ramen shop Afuri famously said the company chose to open its first US location in Portland because the pH of the water is closest to that of Mount Afuri. Thanks to that detail-oriented choice, refreshing yuzu-shio ramen with tender marinated pork belly, chewy noodles, and bright soft boiled egg is now a Stumptown staple. Enjoy the light, crisp, citrusy chicken broth in the large, sleek dining room, or along the bar where you watch the cooks making gyoza or skewers." - Rebecca Roland, Nick Woo, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
