Dear Friends,

Today marks a very special milestone for us — 25 years since Taichi opened Chiso in Fremont on September 18, 2001, just one week after 9/11.

Steve joined soon after, beginning a partnership with Taichi that has continued ever since. In July 2010, Taichi and Steve opened Sushi Kappo Tamura together in Eastlake.

Twenty-five years later, we are incredibly grateful to still be here, surrounded by guests and friends like you who have supported us throughout the years.

Our hope has always been to offer not only excellent food, but also a special place where you can gather with family and friends and celebrate the important moments in your lives.

All of us at Sushi Kappo Tamura sincerely appreciate you being part of our story and supporting us throughout this journey.

Here’s the anniversary video we put together. Please enjoy.

With gratitude,
Taichi, Steve & the Sushi Kappo Tamura Team

We are delighted to invite you to Oryori Taichi #3: Peak Season – Harvest of Seattle on Sunday, July 12, 2026.

This special dinner celebrates the height of Seattle’s growing season and the incredible bounty of the Pacific Northwest. In the days leading up to the event, Chef Taichi will personally visit local farmers markets to hand-select the finest seasonal ingredients at their peak, allowing the week’s harvest to inspire each course.

Rather than following a predetermined menu, the evening will unfold as a seasonal tasting experience shaped by the freshest produce, seafood, meats, and artisan products available that week. Each course will highlight the natural flavors of the region while honoring the farmers, fishers, and artisans whose dedication brings these exceptional ingredients to our table.

Seattle’s farmers markets offer some of the finest ingredients anywhere, and we look forward to transforming that seasonal abundance into a thoughtful, memorable dining experience.
