Cheese is about “enhancing” rather than “adding”｜BEK's Design Philosophy

For BEK, cheese is not a material meant to assert its presence, but rather an element that harmonizes the whole.

At BLUE ENTRANCE KITCHEN, we don't see cheese as something to add,Elements that should be utilizedis designed as.

The choice not to make cheese the star

Cheese, if used incorrectly, can make everything taste the same. At BEK, we understand its power and,deliberately not put forwardI make a decision. By not taking center stage, other elements naturally come to the fore.

Don't make "richness" the goal

BEK's approach to cheese isn't about achieving richness. Instead, it focuses on the impression left after eating, placing just the right amount where it's needed.A design that comes together with a light touchis.

Designing down to the temperature and melting characteristics

Cheese changes its character with temperature. At BEK, we prioritize consistent flavor as you eat over fleeting visual appeal.Never interrupt at any timeThe state is considered complete.

Cheese is the "team leader."

The role of cheese in BEK is not to assert itself. It adjusts the distance between ingredients, creating a sense of unity as a single dish.It's easy to overlook, but without it, the whole thing falls apart.That's the position I hold.

BEK's cheese usage is,
"It can't be described as 'plentiful, rich, and long-lasting.'"

・Not pushy
・But it's definitely working.
・Supporting the whole without breaking it

Cheese is not something you “add,”
What to utilize.

That is,
