It's true! We finally broke down & decided to start delivering to a wider region! We figured the fees aren't bad on our side & if anyone is willing to pay the additional fees to get our food in their face, why should we stop them? To place an order just head over to our website: obonpdx.com.

Humi and Jason’s spectacular Japanese comfort food at 100% #vegan @obonpdx.bsky.social in #PDX is a joyful celebration of locally and sustainably grown food, and they keep coming up with amazing seasonal specials. They show without a doubt that being vegan is not about deprivation.

Served with a Japanese pickle on the side.

This figure has 4 parts. The top left is the Grilled Morel Hazelnut Tantan, which consisted of chilled udon noodles in a richly flavorful creamy soy milk broth, lively umami-rich shio koji marinated grilled morel mushrooms foraged by Humi and Jason, quick pickled cucumbers, and fresh yellow cherry tomatoes, topped with a roasted hazelnut-tofu crumble and chili crisp. It was spectacular. The top right is the Okonomiyaki, which consisted of cabbage and onion pancake with fried tofu and house kimchi, topped with house tonkatsu sauce, house-made tofu-based mayo, house furikake, and shichimi. Crispy outside, tender and juicy inside, with luscious toppings, we could happily eat this every day. Both this version with kimchi and the other one with ginger-pickled beets are fantastic. The bottom left is the Ichigo Daifuku, which consisted of fresh strawberry buried in a sweetened adzuki bean mixture and wrapped up in a house-made mochi blanket. It was imaginative, dreamy, and delightful. The bottom right is the Ginger Milk Panna Cotta with Miso Caramel, made by Camellia Vegan Patisserie. It consisted of a smooth, rich, and creamy ginger-spiced soy milk panna cotta base topped with light and fluffy ginger Chantilly whip, multidimensionally flavorful miso caramel sauce made with Obon Shokudo’s jasmine rice hominy miso, and a crispy caramel tuille shard.

Very late in the season, we finally found enough morels to put on the menu! They’re shio koji’ed & grilled, then added to a chilled/creamy soy-based hazelnut tantan w/ udon. Other bites include fried tofu crumble, quick-pickled cucumber, fresh tomatoes, & house made chili crisp.

Chilled noodles anyone?! We’ve got Zaru Soba w/ Broccoli Raab on the menu now. To craft a bite, you dip the buckwheat noodles (not GF, sorry) in a tamari sauce w/ a little wasabi. Then take a big bite of kakiage which highlights the sweetest broccoli of the year! All topped with fried tofu & nori.☀️

Obon Shokudo @obonpdx.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

New special! As we await the full force of spring mushroom season to hit us, we’ve been out collecting bracken fern sprouts (aka warabi). It’s Zaru Soba: Chilled handmade buckwheat noodles with asparagus and foraged warabi kakiage paired with warm kombu dashi dipping sauce w/ a bit of wasabi.

We foraged the two main ingredients for our new special! It’s Sakura Nigiri! To make them we salt-cured cherry blossoms & nasturtium leaves, then mixed the sakuras with sprouted brown rice, & wrapped that mixture with a nasturtium leaf. Topped with tofu misozuke & Korean shiso oil. 🌸

We’re out of buckwheat flour, so today is our last day we’re serving these amazing chocolate chip cookies. While the cookie itself is pretty gooey, those sesame seeds give them a very satisfying crunch! 🌗

Found our first conical verpas ever the other day. We’ve been mushroom hunting for 15 years & rarely does a year go by that we don’t find a species to be on the lookout for. #themoreyouknow, the more you realize how little you really know. Some of the season’s first morels were in attendance too! 😋
