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!

Cooking with Rina was truly fantastic. Her home was perfect for the occasion – cozy, welcoming, and ideal for a culinary experience. Rina explained everything clearly and patiently, demonstrating each step slowly while sharing interesting details about the ingredients, why they are important, and how they benefit our health. In addition to the cooking, she also told us a lot about Okinawa, its culture, and food traditions, which added a special depth to the experience. At the end, we all sat down together and enjoyed everything we had prepared – and it was delicious! Rina is a wonderful and patient teacher who made this experience truly special and unforgettable. We also took home the recipes, which will definitely come in handy. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for more than just a cooking class – this was a real experience! Thanks a lot.

The Private Cooking Class was a heartwarming and tasty experience on one of our last days in Okinawa! We loved chatting and cooking with Rina and hearing stories about how her grandmother inspired her on this journey 🫶🏻 Our toddler daughter was also warmly welcomed, even though it was challenging to have her around at times! Thank you Rina for your patience and your big heart 🧡 We’re hoping to meet you again in the future.

We had so much fun taking Rina's cooking class. Excellent cooking materials and everything was very well organized. The food was delicious, and we got to take the recipes home. Would definitely recommend if you want more insight on Okinawan cuisine and ingredients, and more generally if you love cooking.

Explore Okinawa through Cooking Classes

Okinawa, an enchanting archipelago nestled in the southern part of Japan, is renowned for its unique culture, picturesque beaches, and tantalizing cuisine. For those looking to dive into the culinary world of this region, Okinawa cooking classes present an exciting opportunity. These classes not only allow you to taste the flavors that make Okinawan cuisine stand out but also to create these dishes yourself. From the hearty and nutritious goya champuru to the delicate flavors of rafute, Okinawan cooking classes provide an authentic experience for both novice and seasoned cooks.

The Rich Tapestry of Okinawan Cuisine

Okinawan cuisine is a blend of Japanese, Chinese, and Southeast Asian influences, resulting in a distinct culinary style that is celebrated for its health benefits and delicious taste. Attending a cooking class in Okinawa will introduce you to a variety of dishes that are emblematic of this heritage. Learn to prepare Okinawa's version of soba, a noodle dish with a rich, pork-based broth, or discover the secrets behind the chewy mochi-like sata andagi, a popular fried snack. Each dish offers insights into the region's agricultural practices and local ingredients, such as bitter melon and purple sweet potatoes, which play a pivotal role in the island's celebrated longevity.

Learn, Cook, and Share

Participating in an Okinawan cooking class is more than just learning recipes; it’s about connecting with the island's traditions and people. Many classes are held in intimate settings, often led by local chefs or home cooks who are eager to share their expertise. These classes provide personalized instruction, ensuring you grasp every step in crafting your meals. Whether you're sharing the experience with family, friends, or other food enthusiasts, these cooking classes are an ideal way to meet new people and learn together. The knowledge you gain in these classes extends beyond the kitchen; you’ll learn about Okinawa's history, culture, and the role food plays in everyday life. By the end of your session, not only will you walk away with new culinary skills and cherished memories, but you'll also have the recipes to recreate an Okinawan feast in your own home.
