A New Chapter: Join Me for a Special Event with Alice Waters
Dear Friends of Chef Naoko,

+
It’s been some time since I last reached out, and I hope this message finds you well. As many of you know, I closed Chef Naoko in 2023 after 17 wonderful years. Since then, I’ve embarked on a new journey at OHSU (Oregon Health & Science University), where I create meals for patients with a focus on health, sustainability, and care.
Now I am thrilled to invite you to a special event co-hosted by OHSU and the nonprofit I founded during the TohokuEarthquake, From Portland With Love. This event will feature the visionary Alice Waters, a leader in the farm-to-table and slow food movements.
📅 When:Sunday, January 12, 2025
⏰ Time:1:00 PM Open Doors | 1:30–5:00 PM Event
📍 Where:OHSU Auditorium
🎙 Moderator:Greg Higgins
The event will focus on Alice’s recent visit to Japan, with a screening of the documentary that was made there. Alice will also be talking about how local and sustainable food practices can play a part in creating healthier, more connected food systems, and lead to healthier lives for us all.

I want to thank you all for the incredible support and memories we’ve shared over the years at Chef Naoko. Your encouragement has made it possible for me to continue this journey in a new and exciting way.
I hope to see many familiar faces at this event as we explore the intersection of food, health, and community. Please feel free to share this email with anyone who might be interested.
With warm regards and gratitude,
Naoko Tamura
