BEK's approach to tacos: not defined by "genre"

・Not a recreation of Mexican cuisine
・Transcending national and cultural boundaries
・Reconstructed as an original Okinawan dish

Tacos at BEK are not a cuisine genre specific to any particular country. They are a “culinary format” born from blending cooking techniques and flavors from around the world, rooted in Okinawa's cultural background. Tacos are not treated as a finished product, but rather as one means of expression.

Why the Champuru Spirit is at the Heart of Culinary Philosophy

・Do not exclude other cultures
・Based on the premise of blending together
・The very history of Okinawa

Chanpuru is Okinawa's unique value system that embraces "mixing things up." BEK places this spirit at the heart of its culinary creation. Wagyu beef, fermentation, spices, herbs. We design structures where different elements don't clash, but inevitably harmonize.

Fermented Tortillas Create an “Unprecedented Taco”

・Completely original manufacturing process
・Designing umami, aroma, and aftertaste
・A base that enhances the ingredients

BEK's fermented tortillas are more than just a shell. Their deep, complex flavor profile elevates the distinct character of each filling. The very existence of these tortillas sets BEK's tacos apart from conventional concepts.

The concept of cooking = experience = story

・Integration with space, music, and service

At BEK, the dining experience is never confined to the food alone. It is designed as a complete experience encompassing the space, music, and even the staff's demeanor. It is a restaurant where the act of eating itself becomes part of the story.
