Brands
DADHI OKUME is the first dashi (traditional Japanese seasoning broth) store in the U.S., opened in October 2022 in Brooklyn. Founded in 1871 in Japan, "Okume" is a long-established dry goods wholesaler at the Tokyo Central Wholesale Market with a history of over 150 years, based on the philosophy of "delicious food forever."
The additive-free store "Okume" was established in Tsukiji Fish Market and is loved by Michelin 3-star restaurants. The world's first made-to-order "dashi pack" (patent pending) is made by selecting your favorite ingredients at the processing area in the store, blending, grinding, filling, and attaching a label with your name on the spot. We make "the only dashi packet in the world for your family".
We have more than 200 different types of food carefully selected by connoisseurs from all over Japan, and continue to support "fish diet" that represents Japanese food culture to this day.
Welcome to the world of Soba Noodles at Uzuki, Greenpoint. We invite you to experience the best craftsmanship of 100% buckwheat noodles in the US.
Soba dishes at Uzuki will not only nourish the body and soul, but also will educate our customers of the life-sustaining nutrients of Soba noodles.
Veteran chef Shuichi Kotani puts his soba-making skills on full display at this sleek, industrial-influenced restaurant in Greenpoint. Here soba is served in what is called kake style in some circles, in which broth or sauce are served in the same bowl as the noodles, versus being placed on the side. As for the noodles themselves, this is soba in its purest form — made entirely from buckwheat flour and water, in comparison to other versions that blend buckwheat and wheat flour. The result is nuttier and more intense. Signature dishes include a warm bowl of soba in a clear duck-based shio broth, and a deluxe sashimi soba with cold, matcha-infused noodles in a dashi broth. - Featured in New York Times, Bloomberg, RESY.
