AVA-cafe

Collaboration with "food" artists from all over the world!

In a variety of natural environments, producers who grow organic crops with passionate farming methods, chefs who feel the characteristics of the ingredients and cook them, all of them are creators and artists!

We have had the opportunity to meet many people from all over the world through WWOOF and Workaway at our existing facilities, and have had the opportunity to experience various food cultures.

A young man from Italy has been a pizza craftsman since his grandfather's time and has provided us with delicious pizza.

Working as a chef in a French restaurant, he served us home-cooked French food at our regular potluck parties.

He came from Thailand and runs his own restaurant and guesthouse, offering authentic Thai cuisine.

She came from Israel and made falafel, a vegan dish.

Based on these experiences, we collaborate with the techniques and experience cultivated in each region, including food artists and hidden gems from around the world, using fresh Kochi ingredients as a base.

We would like to create opportunities for people to experience the food cultures of various countries and regions that can only be experienced at that moment.
