Private Cooking Class in Naha: Make 4 Okinawan Dishes

Want to dive deep into the culture of Okinawa beyond its sunkissed beaches and countless attractions? Immerse yourself in the history and culture of the island through this private cooking class in Naha with a professional Okinawan chef. You'll learn to cook four traditional Okinawan dishes with Rina, your host and professional chef from Naha, who has been leading cooking classes for over seven years. After meeting at a designated meeting point nearby, you'll go to her house to get a taste of the blue zone diet while learning about the history and culture of Okinawa. Rina will demonstrate how to make each dish and guide you step-by-step while you cook together. The menu includes the following dishes: -Goya champuru (a stir-fry dish with bitter melon and tofu) -Kubu irichi (kombu-simmered pork shoulder and vegetables) -Jyushi (rice topped with dashi) -Umukuji andagii (purple sweet potato tempura). Once you're done cooking, you'll assemble a Japanese-style bento (packed lunch) and enjoy a relaxed conversation with Rina. Feel free to ask her about life in Okinawa and her recommended places to visit and things to do! The original menu for this class contains animal products, but vegan and vegetarian options can be accommodated upon request. Please inquire upon booking.
