“BEK's Fermented Tortillas and World-Class Tacos

For many people, a tortilla is "a crust to wrap ingredients in.

But for BLUE ENTRANCE KITCHEN (BEK),
The tortilla is the most important element that determines the perfection of the taco.

BEK's tacos are,
The dish is already “cooking” from the tortilla stage.

Why does BEK "ferment" tortillas?

The fermented tortillas that BEK employs are,
It brings out the aroma of wheat and corn,
It creates a flavor that blends naturally with ingredients and sauces.
Fermentation does not give us strength, but depth.
We believe that this is a necessary element for a world-standard taco.

Fermented tortillas cannot be controlled by numbers.

Fermentation is a very delicate process.
Even with the same formula, the finish will vary depending on the environment.
At BEK, we don't rely on numbers or manuals alone,
A dedicated tortilla artisan finishes the tortillas while assessing the condition of the tortillas.

The design scope extends to the "aroma" at the moment of baking.

In BEK tortilla making,
Even the way the aroma comes out at the moment of baking is an important criterion.
This aroma, when combined with the ingredients
It greatly affects the overall impression of the taco.

Taco design where the tortilla is the star of the show.

In BEK's tacos, the ingredients are not the star of the show.
The tortilla, ingredients, and sauce are designed as equals.
It is because of the flavor of the fermented tortillas,
The flavor and spice of the meat can be felt three-dimensionally.

The "global standard" is not about showiness, but reproducibility.

What is BEK's idea of a global standard?
It is not about eccentricity or strength.
Delicious no matter who eats it,
To be able to eat comfortably until the end.
Fermented tortillas support the foundation.

An area that cannot be reached by mass production

Fermented tortillas are not suitable for mass production.
BEK, however, chooses perfection over efficiency.
It is because it is finished with a human touch,
We are able to offer the best tacos every day.

Tortillas are the very idea of BEK

Like the Okinawan chanpuru culture,
Fermented tortillas embrace and bring together diverse elements.
For BEK, tortillas are,
They embody the philosophy of the brand itself.

BEK's fermented tortillas are,
It is an entity that does not end at "wrapped skin."
By the handiwork of dedicated artisans and the power of fermentation,
It is the foundation that supports the world standard of tacos,
We create flavors that connect Okinawa to the world.
