our story
edomae 江戸前
In its original translation, Edomae – “Edo”, the old name for Tokyo, and “Mae”, meaning front, referred to the fish caught in Tokyo Bay. Today Edomae refers to the traditional Tokyo way of preparing sushi but using fish from area waters. While the seafood found in Tokyo Bay is different than that in the Pacific and Atlantic waters, they are similarly bound by the environmental elements of ocean, land, and mountains.
local, seasonal 地元, 季節の
Using local and seasonal ingredients is the most important element in Japanese cuisine. It also has become the primary principle for the international culinary community. With commitment to that philosophy, Blōōfin features seasonal ingredients of the Texas State and Toyosu market in authentic Japanese preparation.
