Cooking Class & Historic Food Market Tour in Naha

À propos de votre expérience

'Cook like a local while learning secrets of Okinawa’s longevity food culture'

In the food market tour at the Naha Public Market located nearby, you will learn about locally grown products and select ingredients used in the cooking class.

Upon returning to our studio, you will prepare a three- or four-course menu consisting of a classic appetizer, main dish, soup, and dessert. The class is facilitated by a bilingual Okinawan food enthusiast and instructed by professionally trained chefs.

The classes are a fun, social, hands-on experience where you will not only prepare various dishes in a teamwork setting but also learn about ingredients and cooking methods that contribute to Okinawa’s longevity food culture.
