Samurai Blue is a popular modern Japanese restaurant on North Portland's Mississippi Avenue known for its Korean and Japanese small plates, a large selection of sushi, hibachi, and original sake cocktails. The simple décor is dominated by a large mural of Hokusai’s Great Wave. Sushi choices range from traditional and simple to original house-designed selections, such as Chance of Rain with salmon, avocado, cream cheese, sundried tomato, balsamic teriyaki sauce, and basil, all fried in tempura batter. If it rains, you get it half price. There is a large selection of interesting sake cocktails and draft beer as well as a small but good wine selection from all over the world.
