HELLO

I AM SHAYNE (FROM NEW ZEALAND) AND I AM MARRIED TO ASAMI (FROM OKINAWA)

WE RUN KIWI SHAYNES TACO RICE SHOP IN KANOYA, JAPAN

​

TACO RICE IS A POPULAR FOOD IN OKINAWA THAT IS ENJOYED BY PEOPLE OF ALL AGES.
MY WIFE INTRODUCED ME TO TACO RICE IN CHATAN, OKINAWA AND IT INSTANTLY BECAME ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MEALS.

​

HAVING A BACKGROUND INCLUDING THE HOSPITALITY AND RESTAURANT TRADES AND A LOVE FOR COOKING (AND EATING !! ), I DECIDED TO CREATE  MY OWN VERSION  WHICH WHEN TESTED ON MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY BECAME FAVOURITES OF THEIRS.

​

AFTER MOVING TO KANOYA AND FINDING A VERY WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, OUR NEW FRIENDS SUGGESTED OPENING A RESTAURANT

SO,

THIS IS HOW KIWI SHAYNES TACO RICE STARTED!

​

USING AS MANY LOCAL INGREDIENTS AS POSSIBLE,

WE MAKE A LOW FAT CHICKEN MINCE (NOT SPICY!) 

ON KIHOKU GROWN RICE

COVERED IN CHEESE, LETTUCE AND TOMATO

TOPPED WITH A FLUFFY FRIED EGG AND LOW FAT MAYO.

​

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL SOON

YOKOSO !!
