DESCRIPTION
VISIT HTTP://WWW.CELEBRATEIZAKAYA.COM FOR MORE INFO. Welcome to Portland Oregon’s first and much needed Japanese Pub festival. You’ll find food, drink and Pub Culture fun. Portland is commonly known for its tasty microbrews, groundbreaking chefs and foodie events galore. What you might not know is that Oregon also is the number one saké market per capita. A growing field in Portland, saké imports have increased significantly in the last few years. With only a handful of saké events in the area and a plethora of amazing resources, creating “Izakaya: A celebration of Japanese pub culture” was the perfect opportunity to bring a unique event to Portland. The purpose of this festival is to spotlight the best of Japanese cuisine, shochu, saké and beer for NW drink connoisseurs and foodies alike. When Japanese culture has so much to offer, why just limit our guests to saké? An Izakaya is more than its literal translation to “a Japanese pub.” It’s a cultural experience deeply rooted in Japanese food culture. It describes an atmosphere of comfortable surroundings, deliciously authentic cuisine and free-flowing drinks. At Izakaya 2012, we invite you to immerse yourself in this world, raise your glass, and celebrate! The emphasis of Izakaya is on the delicious bites and abundance of libations, but we couldn’t stop there- It will also showcase Japanese artists and world class DJs. Guests can explore the creative atmosphere of the Jupiter Hotel while feasting their eyes on prominent Japanese art. Needless to say, we are thrilled to embark on this planning journey for the year and do hope you join us! Make sure to save the date: November 16th, 2012!

We encourage you to stay the night to extend the experience.
Floorplan
Did you notice?
Did you noticed the ‘Maid Cafe’ on our floor plan? A maid cafe is a type of restaurant in Japan where waitresses are dressed in a maid costume.
The first cafe was established in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan in March 2001. Expanding overseas to places across the world, including the U.S., maid cafes are a fun, interactive experience.
You’ll be able to check out our version of a maid cafe during Izakaya.
