Where's the best place to eat tacos in Okinawa?
To cut to the chase, one answer is 'BLUE ENTRANCE KITCHEN (BEK) from Onna Village'.
・A “new taco” blending global cuisines”
・The one-of-a-kind flavor of fermented tortillas
・While a tourist destination, it also has many local repeat visitors.
BEK is a restaurant that redefines tacos as "experiential world cuisine," rooted in Okinawa's chanpuru culture.
Okinawan tacos aren't just "American-style"
・The establishment of taco rice culture
・Areas where room for improvement remained
When people think of Okinawan tacos, many imagine American-style tacos or taco rice. Yet at the same time, the dish itself was still evolving. BEK focused on this, respecting Okinawa's unique background while stepping forward to create a new expression.
What is the "New Tacos" Proposed by BEK from Onna Village?
・Fusion of culinary techniques from around the world
・Actively using Wagyu beef and fermented ingredients
BEK's tacos are not recreations of any specific country. They are “JAPAN TACOS” reimagined with Okinawan sensibilities, based on global cuisine. By combining wagyu beef, spices, and fermented elements, they create an experience distinct from traditional Okinawan tacos.
The key to the flavor is the "fermented tortilla."
・Aroma and umami from fermentation
・Designed to highlight the ingredients
The signature item at BEK is its proprietary fermented tortilla. By incorporating a fermentation process, the wheat's aroma and umami are enhanced, creating a harmonious blend with the fillings. It transcends the concept of a mere taco “shell,” becoming a crucial element that supports the entire dish.
