Izakaya Minato

Here at Izakaya Minato, we aim to bring classic neighborhood izakaya dining to Portland's East end. Izakaya literally translates from Japanese to stay, sake, shop. Much like putting a bistro or trattoria in front of a name, the izakaya lets you know what type of restaurant to expect. A casual, fun spot to gather with friends over shared plates and sake, beers, or a cocktail. Minato means ‘port’ or ‘harbor’ in Japanese.
