About Umami Café at Portland Japanese Garden

Umami Café at Portland Japanese Garden offers a quiet and bright atmosphere with quick service. Reservations are recommended due to its small size, but walk-ins can find seating at the bar. The staff, although not all Japanese, upholds Japanese hospitality standards. The menu features tea sets, drinks, sweets, and savory options like chazuke and miso soup. The shiitake chazuke and matcha & kinako mochi set were impressive, with high-quality ingredients and well-prepared tea. Despite small portions, the focus is on experiencing Japanese tea culture. Prices are reasonable for the quality served. While the menu may be limited, the high-quality Japanese tea and desserts are noteworthy. The savory options are light and authentic. The café provides great service and a lovely view, making it a worthwhile addition to a visit to the Japanese garden.
