They’ve been making their deeeeelicious local and organic tasty misos and miso sauces in Portland for THIRTY years now! Wow. I snapped this photo of them a couple hours into the fest when HUNDREDS of hungry and curious and fun fest attendees had already been by their booth to sample their tasty treats.

AND Nat sampled, as usual, a really gutsy and new-to-him, and most of us, ferment — chicken wing garum. Over the years , in addition to sampling his hard ciders (he owned Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider for many years) he’s also fermented up small batches of everything from kumis (Mongolian milk wine), chicha (a Latin American chewed and spit fermented corn beverage), makgeolli (Korean slightly effervescent rice wine), and his Angel of Death hard cider (cultured and flavored by fermented lamb leg) to share with fest-goers.

We never get the best count — since kids 12 and younger get in for free and we also invite a lot of grocery buyers and media in gratis — but we’ll call our sold out 2024 fest about 500 fun ones. We have the best community! There was no talk or panel this year, which was nice for a bit more leisurely conversation. The tasting never felt rushed and everyone got to really connect and settle in to the night. I talked to people who traveled to the fest from near (Hood River, Ashland, Eugene) and as far as Boise, Idaho and Barbados. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/6690f871-fabd-4de0-a7a8-79eeacbe7f83/PXL_20241011_004642322.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2024 Redux - Make it stand out Brian Shaw and his son, Jude, came into town from Hood River, as they always do, to sample up their Oregon Brineworks DELICIOUSNESS!

That’s just a fun name that I came up with for my DIY amateur fruited water kefirs that I make from all sorts of homemade syrups and shrubs. They are so fun and easy to make. It usually takes just a few days start to finish. I gave out recipes of my own and pointed folks to the Fermenter cookbook (and its water kefir recipe) that chef Aaron Adams and I did together that published in 2023. Jimbo and I poured my blackberry pear-ginger water kefir (blackberries from Sauvie Island and Bartletts from my frontyard tree), my raspberry orange-grapefruit water kefir (made from grapefruit and oranges from my Mom and Don’s Mesa, AZ backyard trees), my fruit punch water kefir (fermented with everything from spicy strawberry and blueberry, to pomegranate shrubs and syrups). Claudia snapped this photo of the apple of my eye — Jimbo. I wish I’d also gotten one with the two of us, but this one is great. Also, I chimed in about using leftover fruits on the Thanksgiving table for DIY fruited water kefirs for this Redfin article if you’re interested: Creative Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes | Rent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/11102126-500b-4015-8727-131221a86148/PXL_20241011_004433311.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2024 Redux - Make it stand out Vtopian Artisan Cheeses’ Ryan Knowles and Kaylee before serving up hundreds of samples of their incredibly tasty plant-based cheeses.

It’s a family affair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/57ad5bf0-a752-4bd0-affb-91c714aa3949/OnaYogurt.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out We were very happy to host first-time fester Ona Yogurt this year!

Their plant-based cheeses are so, so good. AND there are some very exciting things are on the horizon for Vtopian in SE Portland, so keep your ears and eyes open for the exciting news from them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/3a5d6c57-aa21-49c9-97ee-20ea5e1ae748/PXL_20231020_043851472.PORTRAIT.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Very cute photo of Ryan and Kirsten that Claudia snapped at the end of the night.

I snapped this one of Sarah Pesout aka The Fermentista right before her fun and empowering DIY kraut demo. Dozens bee-lined for it to learn from the one and only Fermentistaaaaaaa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/c5c99775-4dc4-4021-89d3-ca1687f5532a/IMG_20231019_202852863.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out James Vergara also hosted a very special demo later in the evening. James demo’d two Filipino ferments in celebration of Filipino American History Month — bagoong alamang (fermented shrimp/krill paste) and atchara (fermented green papaya). I love how many people I saw throughout the night taking notes at the festival. Exciting to think of all the home ferments that will fizz and come to be from knowledge gained at Stinkfest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/fcc2a4b5-da05-4fc1-a8bd-f9f0baecc89f/atchara+alamang.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Look how beautiful! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/15635ac5-8001-4108-8067-3c5e9c8aa461/IMG_20231019_200621423_HDR.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out I really loved stopping by the Fermenter table throughout the night. It’s so great to have our Fermenter cookbook out in the world now (it came out a month ago! That’s the blown-up cover of it on the table) so that folks can make all the yummy ferments in it, including the super tasty and sparkly water kefirs that chef Aaron Adams and Josh Curtiss sampled at Stinkfest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/64c9540f-5228-4a0a-852d-8f3274b058ca/Fermenter.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out The best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/569a4853-94ad-4da8-979d-d24b83844323/IMG_20231019_191419526.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out My sweet friend Elise sampling the sparklyyyyyy lovely Fermenter apple-fennel water kefir. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/f5d610cc-8265-4091-a79d-668da6f2b4ed/393254907_10232015268784490_5460299823655767111_n.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out In addition to Aaron and Josh sampling Fermenter’s water kefir, I bagged up dozens of vinegar mothers and kombucha SCOBYs along with printouts of Fermenter cookbook vinegar and kombucha recipes for fest attendees to take home and DIY with. I loved growing a whole bunch of them for the fest and plan to do this again next year. They went fast! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/84c490ad-d77a-498e-b42c-8d01a85ec8a1/Tortuga.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Tabling next to Fermenter helloooooo Taelyn Lang of Tortuga Gordo Hot Sauces! I loved sampling Taelyn’s award winning sauces. I call myself a Stinkfest Queen AND a Condiment Queen, and I especially love tart and fiery fermented hot sauce like his. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/87307ac5-9426-48b4-b23d-cb622cd56a94/IMG_20231019_192702369.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out As always, the third floor Ecotrust rooftop was magical.

Beautiful moon by beautiful moon ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/3ece7d4b-ca66-45dd-ae46-27a9ef8738c6/Swift.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Swift Cider founder himself, Aidan Currie, was serving up his delicious ciders on the roof. So many that he sold out! It was a beautiful night and getting to enjoy a delicious local hard cider on the rooftop, under the moon while cozy by the outdoor fire, was a real treat and fest highlight for many folks. Maybe you? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/22c58759-e475-4a94-87b9-73dfb7c069b2/DesiPDX.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out And DesiPDX delivered some super tasty rooftop comfort food love with their awesome Indian curries, dal and chai.

Thank you so much Gwynie, Anna Maria and Chris! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/bb84aa31-25d9-4d1b-8961-9f96dd950d79/IMG_20231019_194239451.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out My friend Thia bounding up to me toting a bottle of her homemade fig vinegar for me to try. It was delicious! This is a really fun aspect of Stinkfest — the sharing, trading and sampling of home ferments that folks bring with them. You don’t have to have a table or demo at the fest to share your creations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/7fbf7ec9-91b7-4682-b3c1-716bb86bee23/IMG_20231019_182718292.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Back down at the ground level, I want to give a quick full-of-love shout out to some of our rad ticketing table volunteers!

Years ago I first tried Britt’s Pickles at Pike Place Market in Seattle (they’re made out on Whidbey Island) and was so happy I did. They’re SO GOOD! I gave the person working the Britt’s stand that day my card and said, “If you’re ever in Portland, come to Stinkfest!” Aaaaand fast forward to now and they’re distributed in Portland! This was their first year stinking it up with us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/b782d199-28d0-4831-9a67-ab13af734a29/Stinging.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Karel Vitek has been tabling at the festival for years and years and it’s always such a treat to see him and sample his delicious fermented Stinging Kombucha Hot Sauces. I even got to see his wife Monica and their daughter for a second as they dropped off a couple things for Karel. Thank you for all that you do, Karel! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/31ea89ac-f45b-4dea-be9e-d2a6b657bdd1/Wanpaku.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Who loves Wanpaku Natto? I dooooooo! I’m so glad to be a Stinkfest Queen with co-organizer Heidi Nestler — Wanpaku Natto founder-owner. I may have had more than one of her natto samples. I mean… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/9e2c9a5f-73c2-40f6-ac14-8ea02e02ad3c/UrbanCheesecraft.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out And Stinkfest Queen and co-organizer Claudia Lucero, like me, had to be a bunch of places at once throughout the fest (Queen BEES were buzzing all around) so her sweet friend Erica (who volunteered and helped us out all night in so many ways) spent some time tabling for her and serving up Claudia’s yum yum yummy Wheymonade. Claudia has a few books published including her most recent one Cooking with Whey that I highly recommend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/7682973b-52e2-4dcc-9df8-6eb6ac0b12ed/6a010536b86d36970c01b8d06d13c8970c-600wi.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Right next to Urban Cheesecraft’s table was Dan Dees tonging up his homemade rendition of the long lost and much loved Portland-proud Neusihin sour dills. I sadly never got a photo of Dan and he left early, so I’m using this placeholder of Sarah Neusihin, whose Depression-era pickles Dan Dees so sweetly brought back to life and sampled at Stinkfest. Thank you, Dan! I’m so sorry that I didn’t snap a photo of you and your delicious pickles! If anyone did snap a photo of him at Stinkfest please email it/them to us at pdxfermentfest@gmail.com and we can use that here pretty please! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/bdd548ac-ece3-4040-a5b4-fdee16891090/SquirrelCrow.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out I snapped this one of Jon Westdahl just one table over early in the night. His Squirrel & Crow split pea tempeh chips were super tasty and so unique.

Love this joyous photo of her and Sash Sunday of OlyKraut chatting it up. Sasha has been a part of the fest just about every year, if not every year, and it’s always so great to see her. Everything she ferments is incredible and we love her and OlyKraut. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/46aae489-cd3d-402c-97af-794f992d47c9/Careen.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Snapped this one right after the last photo! Low light and lots of movement = blurrrrrrr. Anyway, if you are looking for a gorgeous and durable crock and weights then Careen Stoll has got you covered. She’s been showcasing her gorgeous wares — Luscious Porcelain — at the fest for years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/0a776303-7bbb-4867-8ce0-10b41dc26713/Untitled.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Ohhhh look who I ran into!! David Barber. Od Briney himself! David, George Winborn and I started this ferment festival waaaay back when in 2009. So glad that David was able to make it this year and bring the whole family along for the fun this year. Somehow our get-ups always go so perfectly together — like we planned it. Years ago, a writer for some publication called our trio — David, George and me — “dapper foodists” and that made us laugh has stuck with us. Just a couple of dapper foodist dear old friends at Stinkfest I guess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/51e8e005-7a73-4e2e-a232-40926e8c2091/IMG_20231019_204034675.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Did you try this?? I loved it and all the other shrubs and shrub concoctions from Sascha Arhcer of Sauvie Island Shrubs. Perfect cozy fall sipper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/c9da4e9c-fede-4e12-a8f0-b913808c1924/SauvieShrubs.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Sascha chatting it up with Stinkfesters who loved it as much as I did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/ba26e179-4383-436b-9f83-b26c3665b465/SakeOne.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out Fest friend for life = SakeOne!

This photo was snapped at the very end of the night of us Stinkfest Queens (left to right me Liz Crain, Heidi Nestler & Claudia Lucero) with extra special honorary guest speaker Kirsten Shockey. We were all so tired and happy and a good deal slap-happy. This was after we hauled out all the trash, compost and recycling, putting away all the tables and chairs and loaded up everything. TIRED! And so happy. Cheers to yet another incredible Portland Fermentation Festival! We did it! We love you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/6b6a22cc-1f71-4e8d-aae9-3bef8f403f50/IMG_20231020_094718445_HDR.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out My morning-after-Stinkfest very handsome cup of SUPER STRONG joe! It was a little hard to wake up after such a long and exhausting day and night of the fest, but I felt so happy and grateful for life and for Stinkfest when I did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/587b5c1b-63c6-4685-ac23-3babd4bafdc5/FermenterLunch.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Portland Fermentation Festival 2023 Redux - Make it stand out After that, we Queens and Kirsten got ourselves a very special lunch at Fermenter, thanks to Aaron and Josh! We celebrated Stinkfest and Kirsten, ate our way through much of the kick-ass menu and relaxed and caught up for a couple lovely hours. After that, Aaron gave Kirsten and us Queens a tour of the belly of the beast — Fermenter’s and Workshop’s fermentation chambers. And after that, MARC MARON walked into the restaurant! For real! We swooned over Maron for a bit, gave him a signed copy of the Fermenter cookbook, and then returned to swooning over Kirsten before she set off on her several hour journey back home. Thank you for everything, Kirsten! We miss you already. We are forever grateful that you helped us revive our beloved Stinkfest! After our too long three-year pandemic hiatus.

Festival talks,panels, performances, tastings and more were held throughout the enormous 100+ year old no longer operating sake brewery as well as outside surrounding it -- primarily to the left and back of the building as oriented in this photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521420753691-KQ6W1P864U72JQ7BGD0W/IMG_0342.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 This year all festival staff and volunteers wore these rad F3 lab suits.

Lio was one of the F3 speakers I was most excited to hear and meet. Lio is a fifth generation vinegar maker and at Lio they control the process of vinegar making from start to finish even cultivating some of their own rice and making all of their own sake which they ferment into award-winning vinegar. It's 100% new-harvest, pesticide-free rice that goes into their delicious rice vinegar which is aged eight months or longer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521856938003-QARUWBZIPEQDHENHVDA8/IMG_0368.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 I'm very glad that there were photos to go with Lio's talk because there were no friends nearby to translate.

She calls her liquid light shows "alive art" and we were absolutely transfixed. Find her on social media. So inspiring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521857394287-0Y8R4BQV6AIWP5SWH2VP/IMG_0388.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 I'm including this one because it really shows in contrast the thick nearly 1/4-inch of mold on the sake cave walls.

He and Kurosaki-san talked about the importance of curating art at home in Japan and how home fermentation is very similar -- largely a lost art. Cultivating both is important and we need to do better. I agreed, added to that and talked about our polarizing political climate in the US and how catalyzing and diversity-celebrating events such as the Portland Fermentation Festival are important. Long live STINKFEST and F3!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521947305125-ECE9UR12XW9QGVQIFF7A/IMG_0649.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 Flyers handed out after my talk and at the end of the day for Sunday's day 3/final day of F3 at United Nations University. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521946902010-YQ1RLU26DQJ544AJVG8E/IMG_0608.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 We made it to the second level of the brewery for the very last pour of the Fermented Bar.

If I lived in Tokyo I would shop here regularly. We had a chance to walk around a bit before my talk and Jimbo's DJing. I got some really yummy citrus and shoyu. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521947696226-AE7UBFODYPSS9G725SKA/IMG_0679.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 Fermentation Lounge F3 at UNU! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521948105136-A6KMBNI2OJCDTCD0U954/IMG_0682.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 Grape Republic wines, some really yummy sakes... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521948135744-8RLOOQLP5JRCAGKHJC6G/IMG_0687.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 I hope that Grape Republic will come to the Portland Fermentation Festival. I told everyone that we don't have festival sponsorship or a travel budget but that we can put them up (my place, friends' places) if they can get to Portland to be a part of the festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521947790529-SBUNE8NJG7CQ0BACMEC4/IMG_0728.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 DJ Jimbo making everyone feel so good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521948185669-NWZT1FX67PBGOUN14RUX/IMG_0700.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 Yas pouring Portland beers and ciders before my talk.

The link to my talk is above but some topics discussed include promoting diversity and countering xenophobia (particularly in relation to US political climate) through exposure to welcoming, tasty, funky diversity with the Portland Fermentation Festival and F3; our festival's history, the importance of skill sharing, how festivals such as ours and F3 build community and create lasting change and impact in cities and beyond, use it or lose it -- encouraging and inspiring youth to ferment, how fermentation is an antidote to glabal sameness and industrialized story-less foods. It was a really fun talk and during it you can hear the miso making demo with Miyamoto Miso talking place in the background -- in the back of the room. The loud buzzing is the sound of the electric grinders grinding the steamed soybeans. I love that both were taking place in the same space and at the same time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521948377630-YJIVERJ3FPTI8M0DJ53Z/Neil_Young_Pickle+copy.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 This is one of the slides from the Portland Fermentation Festival that attendees loved during my talk. I told them how in 2015 we found out that Neil Young was coming to Portland to play a show for his The Monsanto Years tour after we'd already set the Portland Fermentation Festival date ON the same date so we sent out a change the date email with this photo as part of our apology. I CANNOT miss Neil Young!! Not possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521948774618-LTHZSJYZTI8A43XGBAF0/Cvog3lyXEAAkgRD.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 Pickle pins!! Many F3 attendees got pickle pins this year thanks to Loly LeBlanc and Phoenix Rath. They flew first class ;) This is another slide that attendees loved. XOXOXO https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521949460709-FH0IF2APLXGH7PR3YSL7/IMG_0741.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 After my talk I served up samples of some of my homemade 2 1/2-year-old miso and plum wine vinegar that I brought from home. So glad that I brought these to share! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521949507326-KZEXBT2F39FSJZ6CR9GH/IMG_0717.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 AND I even got to get in on the miso demo action after my talk. I got to mix a batch of koji and steamed ground soybeans with sea salty water, form that into balls and throw them into the big buckets. I've never thrown my miso (I didn't know people do -- to eliminate air bubbles) and I will now forevermore. Practical and so fun!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521948980897-LCJI84WONWRF0CLVWPX0/IMG_0753.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 THIS guy is the most fun ;) DJ Jimbo brightening up the room with all sorts of great tunes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521949544497-2Z9EENWXXIYLAW95FOUI/IMG_0763.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 Me and my friend Etsuyo Okajima after our Q&A.

Fermentation deactiviates the toxicity. It was really salty, sour and yummy -- nice pop. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521949736926-GMXOX8VDJYMYCRIQK4US/IMG_0703.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 Fermented squid.

Every year that I know this man seems like 10 because of all of his accomplishments in a 12-month span. He constantly inspires me and I'm so grateful to know him through editing True Portland (English Edition 2017, Hawthorne Books) and attending his first two F3s thanks to him making it happen. His closing remarks at F3 this year were inspiring and educational. Looking forward to all the greatness to come from Kurosaki-san and F3 in years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1521950052942-PP28ERV7IG8MQMCIQ8V2/IMG_0907.JPG Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2018 Peace out and thank you F3 -- all on one hand ;) Thanks for checking out this post. I hope to put together another post about all the amazing things we got to do in Tokyo on this visit at some point in the future. For now I'm going to rest my brain bean which I mildly concussed en route home in the Tokyo subway system. So, peace out for real.

I ended up leaving with his handmade kezuriki (katsuobushi grater box) and two of his perfectly paired katsuobushi that are smoked, sun dried and fermented for months. I gave him a copy of my book, some Bee Local honey and I invited him to the Portland Fermentation Festival. I hope that he comes! So lucky that I got to meet Yusuke. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214352683-H12E2E419H8HOZFN2S5A/IMG_7663-e1490043984475.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 Chef Shinobu Namae of 2 Michelin star restaurant L’Effervescence with his enormous crazy tasty pot of ramen at the outdoor sampling area of F3. The talks and workshops were all inside. Shinobu used Yusuke’s Kaneshichi katsuobushi for it. I will dream of this ramen. Incredible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214353683-W7G3STXRMSEZBZT14VUS/IMG_7690.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 Soooo cold! Luckily there were a lot of crazy tasty sakes on hand to warm us up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214352898-JAPABUGJR9TZQV9IR1Q8/IMG_7669.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 It was really crazy having just watched the excellent documentary Birth of Sake which features this fellow — Yachan aka Yasuyuki (Yas) Yoshida — sixth generation at Yoshida Brewery and the next in line to take over the brewery. Yas is in the yellow jacket and to see him and Yoshida at F3 was wild and… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214353818-7EY3VJ4YG0EUQQI74KB9/IMG_7698.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 I got to try Yoshida’s newest winter sake. It tasted like lychee and grapefruit and snow all at once. I’ll never forget it and I really hope to have it again soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214360987-FU1KRMPPQJPCWBL8KZGC/IMG_7915.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 F3 was part indoors — talks and workshops — and this outdoor area and the adjoining corridor, that’s not in view, was where all of the fermentation sampling took place. Beyond that and out front was the weekend United Nations University Farmers Market which gets 15-20k visitors a day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214359107-MFJ8MKRLLD6NG4YN6VPZ/IMG_7907.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 These folks put together enormous pot after boiling pot of imoni with lots of miso, taro, burdock and wild mushrooms. Both days of F3 were extremely windy and cold so this was a very popular soup. They would hit the soup lid as they propped it up really hard with the ladle, treating it like a giant gong, every time that the soup was ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214356804-8VSS39XX4VFSGBFZY4HE/IMG_7859.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 Close-up of the delicious imoni. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214357130-R5KKZU09ZRZM2ZVUZYNX/IMG_7860.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 I certainly wasn’t the only one who enjoyed it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214360000-EXSOGN0LHSS5XMWSI3WM/IMG_7911.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 This warm amazake (low or no alcohol fermented rice drink) was such a treat too. No sugar or sweetener added but so naturally sweet. Another unforgettable taste from F3. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214362577-HFPGMMCF8HW4S1EUMO72/IMG_7920.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 I really love that F3 was free to attend (the talks and the food sampling were free and open to the public and you bought stickers for food/drink samples) and that they had these two types of reusable sake cups that you could purchase for sampling. Brilliant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214355798-NTYJ1CXTZ4ZS6EJ7V46R/IMG_7804.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 This was the only cured meat at F3 and it was yummy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214361185-N1VAABJPGZYA1XC53XMY/IMG_7916.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 Did you know that Japan has a Miss Sake? They do! This is her — Mai Morita. She travels the world as an ambassador of Japanese sake. Love it. A lot of the organizers and VIP participants wore these white F3 lab suits. So stylish and fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214355378-O9ZH77GV4VHJ7RE03VXF/IMG_7778.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 Bird’s eye view of the main outdoor corridor of F3. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214354488-HZEUUKU97XGR1S14M7CR/IMG_7737.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 The Saturday F3 workshop that Luuvu Hoang, Etsuyo Okajima and I did at nearby Midori. Luu did a demo. on fermented Vietnamese food, I spoke about Portland and the Portland Fermentation Festival and we all hung out together for three hours learning things and eating yummy things. It was awesome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214352100-9NMKW867INOQK21DQVW6/IMG_7616.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 This sign for it made me happy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214353177-A81AYO9EKKSDQ2E40UF5/IMG_7672.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 Afterward Luuvu and I walked over to the F3 food/drink area and got Shinobu’s awesome ramen made with Yusuke’s katsuobushi. The stuff of dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214354185-PR07P6Z3W3NDWKRCMB3R/IMG_7699.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 Yusuke Sezaki (one of my favorite people that I met in Tokyo) of the legendary Kaneshichi — maker of katsuobushi. Yusuke is who Rene Redzepi travels to in order to learn about katsuobushi. Redzepi is currently experimenting with making bear and venison katsuobushi. Yusuke is helping him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214358102-CWDCX8XMAAIL2BVC1L8J/IMG_7901.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 The perfectly coupled katsuobushi that Yusuke gave me. (He also hid a third in the bag.) In Japan when couples marry a traditional parting gift for good fortune is this — a “male” and “female” katsuobushi — pieces that fit perfectly together. It’s rare and brings good luck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214358908-GL9W4MTSEG6AXZHNBNAP/IMG_7906.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 I really wanted to do this 50-minute sake tasting but we were too social to make it happen. We wanted to walk around and talk to everyone. Next time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a2f34e5edaed81e984a200e/1513214360202-ZJRL3W5E09FPVQZ9CWCD/IMG_7913.jpg Food Lover's Guide to Portland - Fermentation Future Forum 2017 They had an F3 DJ!!

We all sat on bean bags in the middle of the room and while Mai translated someone was also typing up what I said in characters that were projected on large screens. So well organized for year one.
