An excellent cooking experience

The chef is outgoing, engaging and humourous as well as being skilled with food, and his wife and staff make everyone feel very welcome. It was a wonderful experience, giving us insights into Japanese cooking techniques and resulting in delicious food. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Naha on the lovely island of Okinawa.. So much fun!

Thank you so much, Graham, for your wonderful review and recommendation!

We had such a great time welcoming your family and making ramen and gyoza together at our restaurant in central Naha. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed Chef Hisa’s humour, the Japanese cooking techniques, and the warm atmosphere created by our team.

Our goal is to make Japanese cooking enjoyable, relaxed, and accessible for the whole family. We hope the practical techniques and simple ingredients will make it easy for you to recreate the ramen and gyoza at home and remember your time in Okinawa.

It was truly a pleasure spending time with all of you. And please tell Lucas that if he decides to become a chef one day, he is always welcome to return to Okinawa and train with Chef Hisa!

Warm wishes,
Chef Hisa, Yuko, and the team

We are delighted to hear that our ramen and gyoza class was one of the highlights of your trip to Okinawa. Our cooking experience is not only about making delicious food, but also about sharing Japanese culture, everyday cooking techniques, and the stories behind the dishes.

We are also very happy that you felt comfortable and welcomed in our kitchen. We hope you will try making ramen and gyoza again at home and remember the fun time you had in Naha!

We hope the practical techniques will help you recreate ramen and gyoza at home and bring back happy memories of Naha!

Clear & Hands-On Sushi Experience with Chef Hisashi

Great class with clear instructions in English. I loved the hands-on approach and the small group setting. The chef Hisashi even gave tips on ingredient substitutes for back home. Definitely worth it!"

Thank you so much, Sophie, for your wonderful review!

We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the clear English instructions, the hands-on sushi experience, and the relaxed small-group setting.

One of our goals is to help guests enjoy Japanese cooking not only during their time in Okinawa, but also after returning home. Chef Hisashi is always happy to suggest practical ingredient substitutes, so the dishes can be recreated using ingredients that are easier to find in each guest’s home country.

It was a pleasure cooking with you, and we hope you will enjoy making sushi again at home!
