Halekulani Okinawa Announces Inaugural Dinner for Executive Chef Shingo Hayasaka: A Special Collaboration with Chef Takeshi Fukuyama of 'Goh'

Halekulani Okinawa (Location: 1967-1 Nakama, Onna-son, Kunigami-gun, Okinawa; General Manager: Kenji Fukunaga) is pleased to announce the inaugural dinner for Executive Chef Shingo Hayasaka, who assumed his position last November, to be held on Saturday, August 1, 2026. As a guest chef for this commemorative evening, we welcome Chef Takeshi Fukuyama of 'Goh,' with whom Chef Hayasaka built a deep friendship in Fukuoka. Chef Fukuyama, who has been actively developing events across Kyushu to highlight regional culinary charms, has been seeking to express his vision in Okinawa. This desire will be realized at Halekulani Okinawa on this special occasion celebrating Chef Hayasaka's appointment. The sensibilities of the two chefs, captivated by Okinawa's overwhelming nature and powerful ingredients, will intersect to create a one-night-only full course menu crafted with French culinary techniques. Having inspired each other in Fukuoka, they will beautifully weave their respect for Okinawa into every dish. This special night will be complemented by a luxurious pairing of five types of 'Champagne Telmont,' including the exclusive 'Telmont Réserve Brut Halekulani Okinawa Heavenly Selection,' released solely for this hotel. Please enjoy this 'supreme session' where the creative dishes of the two chefs resonate with the diverse personalities of Telmont, harmonizing the essence of French cuisine with Champagne.
