Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Innovative Tacos?
A: Innovative Tacos are a new category of tacos, created and defined by BEK (Blue Entrance Kitchen). Inspired by Okinawa’s Champuru (fusion) culture, they combine global cuisines, Japanese ingredients, and the specialized techniques of our Creators. BEK is the leading brand of Innovative Tacos in Japan.

 

Q: What does “drinkable tacos” mean?
A: The phrase “drinkable tacos” was naturally created by customers and on social media after experiencing BEK’s tacos.
It expresses the extraordinary juiciness and the unique texture that melts in your mouth.
However, at BEK, we do not consider this just a trendy or catchy phrase.We see it as a carefully designed and reproducible dining experience — one that answers the question,
“why does it feel drinkable?” From ingredient combinations and moisture balance to cooking techniques, tortilla design, and even the way the dish is presented, it is an intentionally created phenomenon.
BEK defines this experience not as a temporary feature, but as a new category of tacos, which we call “Innovative Tacos.”In other words, “drinkable tacos” is a symbolic characteristic of Innovative Tacos — a gateway into the deeper value and concept created and defined by BEK.

Q: What is the difference between Innovative Tacos and other tacos?
A: BEK creates a new genre, not just a trend. We focus on a Craft Style driven by human sense and technique rather than mass production. The definitive difference lies in providing an "entertainment-based dining experience" where ingredient potential, precise flavor design, and the creator-led atmosphere are integrated.

Q: Why do you call your staff Creators?
A: We define our stuff as Entertainers who Create smiles and moving experiences, not just servers. From the precise flavor design in the kitchen to the atmospheric direction of our multicultural floor team, we aim to deliver dreams and hope through food.

Q: Do you have any recommendations?
A: Our signature menu item, "Gold Experience," is a highly popular dish that represents the very origin of the BEK brand, where our Creators meticulously manage the cooking process to create a perfect harmony of savory beef and rich, melted cheese. Additionaly, our much-discussed "Wagyu Cheese Birria" is a rich and luxurious masterpiece symbolizing Innovative Tacos, featuring a dense Wagyu umami and a "harmony of spices" designed with absolute precision. These are a new category of tacos brought to you by the Okinawa-based brand, BEK.

Q: What are the ingredients for tortillas?
Our tortilas are wheat-based but fermented with yeast over time, like bread. This "fermentation (time)" maximizes aroma, umami, and texture. Each one is handcrafted by our Creators in our dedicated kitchen―a 100% original creation from Okinawa.

Q: What is the difference between blue tortillas?
