WIT Life #236: Japanese Influence in Portland
Translating/Interpreting, Uncategorized, WIT Life, Writers Comments Off on WIT Life #236: Japanese Influence in Portland
WIT Life is a periodic series written by professional Writer/Interpreter/Translator Stacy Smith (Kumamoto-ken CIR, 2000-03). She starts her day by watching Fujisankei’s newscast in Japanese, and here she shares some of the interesting tidbits and trends together with her own observations.
I’m on the tail end of a business trip in Portland, my first visit to the state of Oregon. Being located on the West Coast I had assumed there would be significant Japan connections, and was happy to find that I was right. One of the first places I went to was the Japanese Gardens, proclaimed to be the “most authentic Japanese garden outside of Japan.” The 5.5 acre grounds are sprawling, and include natural gardens, sand and stone gardens, and a tea garden. The timing of our visit was great, as they were having a special Isamu Noguchi exhibition as part of their “Art in the Garden” series (through July 21). It was neat to see some of Noguchi’s pieces, on loan from his LIC museum, juxtaposed against the backdrop of the Portland skyline.
I also found a J
apan connection when I checked out the local Rogue Brewery one night. One of their many offerings was the Morimoto Black Obi Soba ale, a richer and nuttier version of the brewery’s original Morimoto Soba Ale. They also feature a Morimoto Imperial Pilsner, which is golden in color, floral in taste, and described as a “hedonistic mouthful.” All three are part of the 2003 Morimoto Signature Series, a collaboration between Read More
