AFURI USA INC operates a restaurant brand focused on Japanese ramen and related cuisine. Its signature bowl features a light, refreshing broth with yuzu citrus notes and handcrafted noodles, delivering a balanced umami. The company emphasizes authentic Japanese culinary technique and aims to build community and share its culture through the menu, noting that water quality is a key factor in ramen making and that Portland’s water profile supports this process. The target customers are diners seeking an authentic ramen experience, supported by locally sourced Pacific Northwest ingredients. The first restaurant outside Japan opened in Portland in 2016, marking a notable expansion; the business is positioned as a small to mid-sized operator within the restaurants industry.
