We are looking for kitchen staff who can help support our lunch service.
We value the island ingredients of Yanbaru and strive to serve dishes that genuinely convey the charm of this land.

Lunchtime in Yanbaru,
is something we support with care.

We believe in conveying the honest goodness of simple ingredients, along with the lives and work behind them.
Rather than pursuing efficiency alone, we believe in taking proper care where care is needed.
These are the values we hold as we welcome our guests each day.

You will begin with simple lunch prep, plating, and basic cooking assistance, learning the work step by step.

A Kitchen Filled with the Sounds of Wild Birds

At OkuMasa, you can sometimes hear the songs of wild birds from the kitchen.
Being close to the sea and sky, and working while feeling the air of Yanbaru, is one of the unique charms of this restaurant.

Here, you can engage with cooking while staying close to the nature of Yanbaru.
Time flows differently here than it does in a city restaurant.

“Truly Delicious!” — Heard Directly

Because this is a small restaurant, guests’ reactions are very direct and immediate.
For people who love cooking, being able to hear joyful words like “That was truly delicious!” firsthand is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

You can truly feel that your work is directly connected to the happiness of the person in front of you.
Seeing the care you put into your work returned to you as someone’s joy is another special appeal of OkuMasa.

Delivering the Value of Island Ingredients with Care

For lunch, we focus mainly on curry and pasta in a style that allows us to operate carefully and sustainably.
We believe it is important not simply to use island ingredients, but to turn them into dishes that truly communicate their value.

By working with the ingredients of Yanbaru, we aim to share the goodness of this land through food.
For those who want to be involved in that kind of work, we believe this will be a meaningful place.

Starting in the Kitchen, Step by Step

This is not a position where you will be asked to run service alone from the beginning.
You will begin with prep assistance, plating, and simple cooking support, learning the work little by little.
For those who build experience and trust, there may be an opportunity in the future to take on a more central role in lunch service.

More than doing everything perfectly, we value the ability to continue sincerely.
