Professor Naoto Okude’s Final Lecture

Professor Naoto Okude's Special Lecture (Final Lecture) at KMD Has Begun!

Ever since I joined KMD, whenever we’ve had the “Crash Retreat” held at the start of the school year, there’s been an unofficial gathering where Professor Uhyo serves top-notch sake and snacks. I’d always cut the official dinner short to rush over—usually with Professor Okude, Sam(Professor Toru Furukawa), Professor Hiroyuki Kishi, and Professor Ichiya Nakamura—and those times are truly memorable. I’d love for Professor Okude to share some stories about “food” as well. Actually, since so many of the members mentioned above have retired one after another, it’s been lonely, so let’s set up a separate gathering for that.
