Our commitment with quality

It all starts with the dough. No dough, no empanada!

We believe that a great empanada begins with a great dough:
light in texture, just enough to hold the filling without overpowering it.

After countless tests in our tiny kitchen tucked away in the mountains of Izu, we finally found the perfect all-terrain dough — oven, air fryer, or deep fryer, it’s ready for anything.

Every ingredient, chosen with care.
From Hokkaido — Che!’s dad’s hometown — we bring in our onions and potatoes.
The garlic comes from Aomori.
Whenever possible, we prioritize local ingredients from Japan or Izu.

The key herbs and spices? They come straight from Argentina.
And sometimes, we add fresh basil and other aromatics from our little Che! Garden, grown with love.

Our sun-dried tomatoes come from southern Italy,
and we let them rest in olive oil for at least a month before using them.

For our special cheesy empanadas (hello, four cheese!),
we use real Made in Italy cheeses.
No weird powders called "Parmesan" here —
when it’s needed, we go straight for Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano.

Every Che! empanada tells a story through its ingredients.

 

Our kitchen mantra? "Oishikunaare, oishikunaare!"
We believe energy is contagious —
so whenever we can, we sing and talk to our empanadas while we make them.

Because we’re convinced that even the invisible things —
care, love, intention — are what truly give our empanadas their flavor.

We hope you get to enjoy them warm at your table,
just like homemade.

Thanks for reading — and for cheering us on this far.
Che! :)
