Okinawa 料理教室

- Good vibes - detailed explanations - also for vegetarians - Nice Location Thanks for the harmonious day !

We are two Swedish friends who chose to try cooking in Okinawa with Rina. We had high expectations that she fulfilled and so much more. The evening began with a warm welcome into her home. She spoke in detail - in perfect English - about Okinawan culture, daily life, stories about local ingredients and traditions. At the same time, we got to try new exciting dishes and cooking methods while she enriched every step with lots of information and knowledge. We ended the evening full and satisfied and with a newfound attraction to the exciting Okinawan cuisine. Many thanks to Rina for everything. We highly recommend her course to all food-interested visitors to this beautiful island.

Rina war toll-wir haben viel gelernt und hatten sehr gutes Essen!

Rina did a wonderful job working with more college students from the same organization, making the cooking lesson fresh while making sure the different sessions had an excellent core experience!

Rina was an excellent teacher: patient, knowledgeable, and very engaging! We had a great time!

This cooking class is a triple threat! You learn culture, cook and eat delicious food, and have a lot of fun doing it! Rina is a kind and gracious host. We had four people in our group, including 1 vegan, and she adjusted our dishes according to this special diet. We enjoyed ourselves a lot!

We had an amazing experience with Rina! We cooked four Okinawan dishes and she was able to accommodate both vegan and non-vegan recipes. Rina was very friendly, provided clear directions, and was an excellent teacher.

We had an absolutely wonderful time cooking with Rina! She was so kind and so knowledgeable about all aspects of Okinawan food, and she answered all of our (many!) questions. We had lovely chats, and her cooking instructions were very clear. We had so much fun cooking every dish, and I cannot overstate how delicious they all were!! I can't wait to make them at home. Thank you for welcoming us into your home and giving us such a fantastic experience, Rina!

A fantastic, memorable experience! I highly recommend :)

Rina was an exceptional hostess and chef who is very knowledgeable and care about Okinawan food ingredients and cooking techniques. She efficiently prepared the class around preparing and cooking 4 wonderful dishes that ended up with us prepping our own bento lunch which we then ate. It was a fun time to chat with Rina and learning about Okinawan ingredients and dishes. It was time well spent!

Rina-san is incredibly knowledgeable about food in general, and Ryūkyū cuisine in particular. She's easy-going, open-hearted, and instantly makes you feel welcome. The whole experience is thoughtfully prepared, enjoyable, and never intimidating — even if you're not confident in the kitchen. Rina-san is endlessly patient, and she'll explain or demonstrate as many times as needed, always with a smile. You'll cook four dishes simultaneously, but the flow is smooth and natural. Nothing feels rushed, and there’s no food waste. Every dish complements the others beautifully — both in flavor and spirit. In a nutshell: If you're curious about going deeper into Okinawan food culture — book this experience. If you want to see what happens when skill and generosity meet in one person — book this experience.

We enjoyed learning to cook Okinawan healthy dishes like Stir-fried cut combu, Goya champura and Shiraae from Rina. She gave each of us various tasks from prepping to cooking. We were amazed to see our finished dishes looking "instagram" worthy to post. Especially after plating in our bento boxes. We loved and enjoyed eating our lunch bento!
