About Sho
At SHO, we are a family owned restaurant that is focused on creating truly authentic Japanese food, while at the same time honor the Portland food scene. We are focused on locally sourcing all of our high quality ingredients as much as possible, to offer unmatched taste and freshness. Please take the time to read about our high quality ingredients, because knowing where your food is from, is key to our ability to offer you the best taste possible
Dashi
Dashi is a class of soup and cooking stock used in Japanese cuisine. Dashi forms the base for miso soup, clear broth, noodle broth, and many kinds of simmering liquid. As our focus on truly Authentic Japanese Cuisine, At SHO, we do not use pre-mixed Dashi or powdered Dashi, we make it the old fashion way from water, konbu (dried kelp), and bonito fish flakes
Dressings & Sauces
At SHO, we create each and one of our dressings, sauces, broths from scratch, creating small batches from the highest of quality ingredients and never using any pre-made products for any of our dishes
