Very sadly, Fujio and Yuki Handa have sold Fuji's Restaurant, in Southeast Portland. It has been our regular hangout for a number of years, and their friendship -- as well as the best sushi in town -- will be greatly missed by dozens of their loyal regulars, among whom we proudly count ourselves. But we wish all the best to Fujio and Yuki in their future endeavors. Here are a few pics from a recent excursion. No, there are no great sushi photos here, mostly just folks.
