Went for the cooking class, and had a wonderful time. The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable, not just on cooking and local culture. She shared several tips with us when buying from the market.

There are many craft beers from prefecture and there is an explanation on the menu so it is easy to choose.

Visited last week from New Zealand. They've got 5 taps of local Okinawan beer and bunches of bottles from around Japan. Food: Delicious, especially eisbein and arancini. I had a chance to talk to the chef and she explained how she made all the dishes, which was a nice bonus.Atmosphere: Looks expensive when walking by, but prices are reasonable compared to other craft beer places, great, clean, great motown music.Staff: Friendly, knowledgeable about food and beer, they can all speak English and have an English menu. Would definitely recommend this place to any visitors to Naha. It's a bit out of the way, but worth the trip.

4900 yen menu is recommended for those who drink with 4 people. Even within 3000 yen drinking was fulfilling and it seemed fun ☺

Can't believe this place was rated so highly.Overpriced, tiny portions and they didn't have most of the menu in stock despite us being early.Half the things we ordered were not available after an hour of waiting. Our dinner came out over 2 hours and none of the food came together so some of our party had eaten and others had eaten nothing. Beers were not nice. Most of the beers sale and gonna were missing too. Really really disappointing Truely awful. Go anywhere else....

"Taste of Okinawa Cooking Experience". That was what we came here for. It started with a market tour (to buy ingredients for the cooking class) and followed by the cooking class itself.We did not know what to expect before the tour. But we all enjoyed the class very much, especially when we taste the fruits of our labour. The Okinawa Soba, Mozuku-su and Jyu-Shi. The teacher also offered us sashimi and sweets for dessert.This tour would rate as one of our best experiences we had in Okinawa.The teacher/guide was a friendly and knowledgeable person. He tried every hard to convey the food and culture to us. But only one small complain, I wish he was more relaxed and not so tense. Other than that it would have been a perfect day (maybe we the students stresses him out?? Haha)#tasteofokinawa #okinawa #okinawacookingexperience #markettour #cookingclass #Japan #okinawasoba #Mozukisu #jyushi

Amazing cooking class where we made okinawan soba and a few other side dishes. Tour of the market with the chef was fascinating followed by a great class. Craft beers on tap/bottle and the cuisine is meant to be a bit of a fusion of okinawan cuisine. Lovely modern interior too. Definitely one to go to in Naha

The food featured Okinawa ingredients, but don’t expect to be served typical Okinawan dishes. We arrived at 5pm at opening and were turned away because they had “private cooking classes” until 6:30pm. We returned and the menu selection was limited.

I visited around 6 o'clock on Sunday evening. I was expecting to be able to drink foreign craft beer, but all four craft beer of the day are domestic. Almost IPA system in Helios and corals. Foreign beer was an assortment of bottles.As we can choose from craft beer half and pint types, we will order an IPA half first.Has the size come out, half of the mug in draft beer? One third? About pint and a middle mug? That size. It is a mini mini mug and it looks cute, but the mug doesn't look cool. A bit disappointing to me of Kinkin's draft beer group.There are also systems that look fun with 900 yen for three trials and 1200 yen for five trials.Even though the menu was sticky and there were few customers, I at the counter were ignored. The food was quite plentiful, there was also a dessert, and there was also a cafe-like element. I expected the appearance of the shop and the interior to be quite fashionable before entering, but it felt totally disappointing and it was a half cup.

Took the cooking class with family that was visiting and it was fantastic. The market tour led by Tomo (the owner) was great and very informative. Cooking with Chef Zoey was really fun and made the recipes accessible. Plus you get to eat all the amazing food at the end. Would recommend this to anyone!

Today my partner and I learnt a lot about okinawa soba and local food from teacher Minato. He is knowledgeable and full of passion. We had a fantastic time and met several wonderful people in the same class. Don't wait - add this awesome activity in your bucket list next time you visiting Okinawa...Thank you very much teacher Minato and Taste of Okinawa team 😄😊

Great place to try local beer, staff is very pleasant and knowledgeable and English is very good too. I didn't try the food but it sure smelled good. For the beer you will find 5 or 6 taps but also lots of bottles. Note that the food is not traditional Okinawan food, the name refers to the beer.

An assortment of local beers on tap. They don’t brew themselves. They had a fairly large food menu and number of bottle beers. They also offer cooking classes, one was wrapping up when we went there and it looked fun

Excellent. The meals are original and very tasty : is was quite surprising to enjoy local vegetables and a revisited crème brûlée at the same dinner. They also have a vast choice of beers and a very nice room. Above all, the staff is really nice and helpful. Thank you so much.

People who commented here about craft beer have no absolute idea about it. They have 5 beers on tap they rotate every week and none of them are good. Employees can't distinguish a Pale Ale from a Lager and don't even know what sizes are the glasses they pour beer onto (it just says half/full). They also sell bottled beers mainly from Okinawan breweries, far from standard qualities and super overpriced. It costs 1200 yen for a Far Yeast IPA on tap that is horrible when you can get a Ballast Point Sculpin IPA on a US size pint in Tokyo. On the good side, they serve decent food. Pizza is quite good but small and pricey.

Looking for craft beer to come here, there are a variety of craft beer options. The meal is mainly Western-style and delicious! The location is very close to the international network. If you want to avoid tourists, you can come and enjoy your leisure time.

If you are not satisfied on the international street, we recommend here. Especially beer. A few shops in Naha city with a young feeling.Cooking class also seems to be available for booking by e-mail.Like a tester (they call it a platter) rather than a handle glass, I want to drink it next time on a glass type.

This was one of the best parts of our experience in Okinawa. It was an oasis in the July heat, and we were presented with a beautifully executed menu, and the friendliest service. It was a well run operation and everything, from the decoration and lighting to the wonderfully prepared dishes and relaxed atmosphere, was pleasing to the senses. It was more than a bit of alright.

Various beers can be drunk, centered on prefecture-produced beers. In particular, the variety of bottled beer is plentiful, and it's fun to drink and compare. The food is also delicious.

Hello there. Apologies for belated reply. Yes, at our cooking class service we teach traditional Okinawan dishes, instead of Japanese dishes like sushi.
