Travel with Tetsuya Wakuda to Okinawa

TETSUYA Wakuda sources some of the top ingredients from Japan’s best artisanal suppliers for his restaurants, Waku Ghin and Wakuda. But that requires plenty of travelling and tasting from the country’s numerous prefectures, and then shortlisting the best. In tomorrow’s BTLifestyle, we get to follow the acclaimed chef-restaurateur – who also has restaurants in Sydney and Las Vegas – on his visit to sun-drenched Okinawa to explore its culinary bounty. The sub-tropical islands are known for the Okinawan diet, featuring a mind-boggling array of seafood, meat and vegetables supercharged with nutritional goodness. Join us as we sample our way through what’s known as the healthiest place on the planet.
