What is Maihama Factory? Getting to the Heart of What Makes BEK Taste So Good

The Maihama Factory is the heart of BLUE ENTRANCE KITCHEN, connecting the taste and philosophy across all our restaurants.

Though rarely seen in the spotlight, the Maihama Factory is the very foundation that supports BEK.

What is Maihama Factory?

The Maihama Factory is the manufacturing and research hub that supports BEK's cuisine from behind the scenes. More than just a prep kitchen, it defines the flavor standards—including our signature fermented tortillas—and delivers them to all our locations.

Why does BEK have a "factory"?

The reason BEK operates its own factory is clear: to ensure that as the number of stores grows, the culinary philosophy and flavor direction remain consistent. We introduced a system of reproducibility into restaurant operations, which can often become dependent on individual staff members.

Fermented tortillas are born here.

BEK's signature fermented tortillas are consistently produced at the Maihama Factory. Here lies the “foundation” meticulously designed to manage temperature, time, and ingredient conditions, ensuring no variation across stores.

Stores and factories are not separate entities but work in tandem.

The Maihama Factory is not isolated from the field. Insights and improvements gathered at each restaurant are brought back to the factory and reflected in the next batch of preparations. Our cuisine is constantly being updated.
