Dashi Okume is a Japanese broth store in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.[1] Housed inside the 50 Norman building, it sells over 30 kinds of Japanese ingredients that customers can select from in order to make a custom dashi pack.[2] It is considered "the first Japanese natural broth shop" in the United States.[3]
History
[edit]In 2022, Japanese market and eatery 50 Norman opened in Greenpoint, providing Japanese retail and dining experiences to an American audience.[4] Among its first three storefronts was Dashi Okume, which had been conceptualized as an American counterpart to Okume Shoten, a dried goods retailer founded in the Tsukiji fish market over 150 years before.[5][6]
In 2024, Dashi Okume hosted a seven-course omakase, consisting of oden, through every weekend in March.[7] In April, they hosted a pop-up in collaboration with Noma Projects, selling the latter's products in its 50 Norman space for a few days.[8] Later, in May, they did a weekend omakase series for udon.[9]
