Restaurant Orita’s

All Melbourne students have 4-week work experience in November.

We have good relationships with hotels, restaurants and travel agents, theme parks etc. in Melbourne, Gold Coast and other areas in Australia.

They are willing to take our students for 4 weeks and give them hands-on experiences in the real world!

Restaurant Orita’s is one of them, and very popular work place for our students, as Mr.Orita and his staff are knowledgeable and always passionate for educating young people in the industry, also students can have very nice staff meal every day!!

Some of this year students couldn’t wait until November, so they decided to have lunch in Orita’s and meet Chef Orita and his staff there.

The other afternoon, we went for lunch to a Japanese restaurant “Orita’s” in South Yarra. Kaihei, who is our senior and studied abroad in Melbourne, came back here to study in this restaurant. Orita’s is located in a little complicated place. This restaurant is wonderful for not only modern but also taking over ”Wa” Japanese style.

As we arrived there, Mr.Orita and Kaihei escorted us and Mr.Orita told us lots of stories, for example, the story of his days when he worked at a hotel. I ate “age tofu”, grilled fish, and dessert which use apricots. These apricots were gowned by Mr.Orita!! Flowers which are decorated in the restaurant were also raised and arranged by Mr.Orita!

We had Japanese food and used chopsticks for the first time since we arrived in Australia….and finally, he gave us his handmade persimmons! The lunch was really delicious and we had a very good time!
Mr.Orita and Kaihei, thank you very much for your kindness!!
