In 2011, we began to build an event like no other in the Pacific Northwest.

Goals

Expose our target audience to the izakaya pub culture.

Educate our guests and expand their experience with Japanese food and beverage.

Give back to our community by donating a portion of the revenue to a local non-profit.

Highlight local Japanese talent and their businesses.

Create an event with longevity that can grow and support those within the area.

Izakaya is...

Interactive

With the help of Terminal Design, the

production and lighting talent behind the national TV show Grimm, the on-

Location

Izakaya takes place on Friday, November 16th, at the Jupiter Hotel.

Featured in magazines such as Conde Nast, Dwell, Marie Claire, Elle, GQ, and many more, this Portland hot-spot will be completely transformed for one magical night.

The floor plan for this event has been created as one of exploration and experience.

Every corner you turn, every room you enter will have something new for the senses.

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.
