Outside, on Alberta Street

• the Portland sky rains down on La Bonita

and La Sirenita too.

But our sign stands calmly between these two fine
establishments,
and it catches
your interest
you ask yourself, Whatever could this be?
4
The sign beckons you down our mysterious gravel
path, and you intrepid explorer that you are
heed its call.
5
Suddenly, you enter the magical realm of
resplendent sunshine
that perpetually
graces our open doors!
Todd himself stands waiting to greet you at our
entrance.
6
Curious, you walk inside
and Todd is instantly ready to serve you food!

• The scent of freshly made misoshiru and onígiri
  overpowers you,

8
and your senses are mesmerized by the bounty of
our seasonal harvest.
You look around, suddenly unsure of your
surroundings. Where am I?
you ask yourself. Is this still Portland?
9
You are strangely reassured by a picture hanging
on the wall

and an old ceramic crock that rests in the
corner.
10
But who are these people? And why are they
wearing those funny outfits?
They dont look Japanese at all.
11
You hesitate for a moment, but youve already
come so far you cant turn back now.
So you decide to take a seat at our quaint little
counter
12
then, suddenly a miracle occurs!
You are instantly transformed into one of
our beautiful customers!
Happy, healthy, and completely satisfied.
