The original noodle shop opened at the base of Mount Afuri in 2001. Founder Hiroto Nakamura partnered with Taichi Ishizuki to open a second location in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood in 2016.[2] Since then, two additional locations have opened in the Portland metropolitan area, in downtown Portland and Beaverton. There are also locations in California,[3] Canada (Vancouver), Hong Kong, Portugal, and Singapore.[4]

In 2020, plans were announced to expand into northwest Portland.[5]
