Oyatsupan Bakers, or simply Oyatsupan, is a Japanese bakery in the U.S. state of Oregon. The original bakery opened in Beaverton in 2016, and second location opened in Tigard in 2019.
Description
Oyatsupan is an "austere" Japanese bakery in Beaverton, according to Portland Monthly. The menu has included "whimsical "chocolate pudding stuffed cornets, croissant dough apple pies with matcha custard, and doughnuts filled with Japanese beef curry,[1] as well as eclairs,[2] Japanese breads, pastries, and sandwiches.[3] In 2018, Grant Butler of The Oregonian wrote, "This airy, elegant bakery combines Japanese and Western baking traditions, resulting in pastry cases filled with baked goods you expect (croissants, baguettes, puff pastry) with things you don't see at other places (green tea cookies, Japanese sweet buns, buttery rolls filled with edamame or red bean paste). There are savory options, too, like the unusual hot dog roll, which features a wiener baked into a brioche bun, and dressed up with drizzles of ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard."[4]
History
The bakery opened in May 2016.[5] Hiro Horie is the chef and owner.[6] In 2019, a second location called Oyatsupan Bridgeport Village opened in Tigard.[7]
Reception

Grab a loaf and up your PB&J game a level or two."[11] Jordan Curtis and Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the bakery in Eater Portland's 2020 "guide to eating and drinking" in Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Tigard. In 2022, Karen Brooks and Katherine Chew Hamilton included Oyatsupan in Portland Monthly's "opinionated guide" to the city's best bakeries.[12]
