Oyatsupan Bakers

"Oyatsupan — an airy, upscale Five Oaks bakery — makes a wide array of traditional Japanese breads, pastries, and sandwiches, picked out using trays and tongs while walking through the space. Pastries are often as fun as they are delicious, like the chocolate cornet, filled with chocolate-custard cream and finished with frosting eyeballs to resemble a surprised caterpillar. Those looking for something savory can find items like a tonkatsu slider with fried pork filet or the kare doughnut, filled with beef curry." - Krista Garcia

"When it first opened in 2016, Oyatsupan brought traditional Japanese baking to the outskirts of Portland. Today, it still serves some of the best Japanese sweet and savory pastries in the area — things like kare pan, a soft bread boat filled with Japanese curry, as well as castella doughnuts and jiggly Japanese cheesecake. Those seeking lightly sweet, fluffy shokupan will also find those here, either in the form of whole loaves or sliced for Japanese-style egg salad sandwiches." - Michelle Lopez, Janey Wong

"Although Oyatsupan’s shokupan (milk bread) and baked goods can be found in select markets and restaurants around the city, pastry pursuers head to its Beaverton bakery to buy crunchy kare doughnuts and slices of red bean cheesecake fresh from the source. Oyatsupan’s fluffy shokupan supports a variety of sandwiches, in varieties like egg-and-cucumber and tonkatsu; they’re available by the whole or half. The bakery’s name is a compound word; “oyatsu” means “snack,” and “pan” is the Japanese word for bread." - Janey Wong
