Tanaka is a Portland-based eatery that specializes in Japanese comfort food, drawing inspiration from Osaka and crafted with care in Tokyo. Their all-day breakfast and lunch menu features katsu sandwiches, baked goods, and other delightful offerings made from locally sourced ingredients.
At the heart of Tanaka's menu is their signature shokupan bread, known for its light and fluffy texture, baked fresh daily with locally sourced flour. The restaurant also boasts a 70-year-old katsu sauce, made from a tomato base with subtle notes of apple, pear, and dates, alongside pastries infused with traditional Japanese flavors.
