The Meaning Behind the Name

Kozan — Japanese for "mine" — is about digging deep. Every broth is hours in the making, every bowl a deliberate act of craft.

Our Story

The Menu

Tonkotsu, Shoyu, Miso, Spicy

Four distinct broths — each its own world. Tony and Wall built a menu that rewards regulars and welcomes newcomers alike.

Something Worth Uncovering

Kozan means "mine" in Japanese — dig deep, bring something hidden to the surface. Tony and Wall built this Cedar Mill shop around that philosophy, one slow-simmered bowl at a time.

What our guests are saying

I absolutely love this place! I have been coming here ever since they opened and the food is always fantastic! I love that they are expanding their menu and adding new dishes. The family who owns the restaurant is the sweetest and they treat everyone with such kindness and warmth. The atmosphere is friendly and inviting and the food is always bomb. I can't recommend them enough!!

Very pleasantly surprised to have this place open up recently. The food was great, it’s a nice place to eat, and they even have a gluten-free version of their Ramen.
