Our Story
OYATSUPAN is a mash-up of two Japanese words, “OYATSU” meaning snack, and “PAN” meaning bread or sweet roll. We are proud to offer delicious baked goods that standout from the everyday store-bought bread - no artificial preservatives and a shelf life of four to five days on Shokupans (Japanese milk bread). Our team bakes fresh batches of sweet rolls, two to three times a day, using the Japanese baking methods taught by Hiro himself. From melon pan (100% butter sable cookie sweet roll), decadent cream puffs, French-Japanese style soft baked cheese cake, and curry-filled donuts to a pork tonkatsu or fresh egg sandwich, a pan (sweet azuki bean paste-filled sweet roll) and the OYATSUPAN Dog, there is something to make everyone’s taste buds jump for joy.
When we opened our doors in May of 2016, we were the first to bring authentic traditional Japanese baking to Beaverton, Oregon. Today, we love to collaborate with other local businesses and continue to share our love for Japanese delicacies.
