Takibi (Japanese for "bonfire") is a wood-fired Japanese restaurant and izakaya that opened in May 2021 inside the U.S. headquarters of outdoor-lifestyle brand Snow Peak, in Portland's NW/Alphabet District — a partnership between Snow Peak, Submarine Hospitality, and bar-program designer Jim Meehan. By day it runs a ramen-focused lunch; by night it serves wood-fired plates, sushi, tempura, and omakase alongside one of Portland's deepest sake lists. The bar program includes a small, rotating set of named non-alcoholic cocktails, most priced at $12, with tea frequently at the center — current pours include Girl Talk (Seedlip, lychee, lemon, soda) and Pretty Please (cucumber, lime, hojicha, saline, soda), while past seasons have leaned on Wilderton and Ghia. Takibi has been named a Portland Monthly Top 50 restaurant and reopened after a 2024 fire.
