I come here often but the cashier today at the dashi counter today was kind of rude and made me feel uncomfortable. I asked her a question and she just smirked at me without answering the question. :( Kind of left a bad impression since this place is not cheap so I expected good service.

Have you ever wished your broth store also had pottery?

Awesome concept of restaurant and store in one. Clean eating where you get to pick out what you want in your bento box. Definitely will come back again

If you happen to be around Brooklyn and have about an half hour or an hour to spend, I would definitely recommend this place.It's close to the subway.This is a very eye opening place to visit if you are interested in dashi in general. The store has variety of dashi for you to try (also vegan options) and also allows you to create your own, which is super fun and educational.They have a lot of imported japanese products + meal, which could be a bit pricy; however, consider you dont have to fly to Japan to get them, they are acceptable and worth try at least once.The atmosphere is super nice. Nice lighting/furnitures and everything. The staffs were also super informative and could help you in a lot in making decisions toward unending dashi ingredients.

Such an enjoyable space ,the staff were welcoming and warm.Food was outstanding. For my pallet it was complex, having contrast in flavors, temperatures and textures that made for an enjoyable and interesting light meal.While eating I think I witnessed a birthday which made the experience a touch more wholesome.Will definitely be returning to purchase a peice from one of the wonderful artists on display ☺️

Dashi Okume is a remarkable blend of a restaurant, dashi specialty store, and a haven for Japanese culinary enthusiasts. The dining experience is self-service with a cozy ambiance, offering around 16 table seatings and a few bar tables. The highlight was their teishoku set meals - a culinary delight with options like marinated king salmon (saikyo-zuke) and saba, all freshly prepared and served with tasty sides, miso soup, and rice. The dashi section is a standout, allowing customers to create custom dashi blends. I highly recommend the sweet shellfish dashi - an absolute treat! A great experience for its innovative concept and delicious offerings.

Dashi Okume offers a unique combination of dining and shopping in one location. It's a self-serve setup with a casual and inviting atmosphere. The teishoku sets are a must-try; we loved the saikyo-zuke marinated king salmon and yakijake, paired with well-chosen sides and flavorful miso soup. What sets this place apart is the custom dashi creation - a fun and interactive experience. Their pre-made dashi samples, especially the sweet shellfish dashi, are exceptional. While the wait for food was minimal, the store section added to the overall experience, making it a great destination for both foodies and shoppers.

Dashi Okume's dried dashi packets come in a wide range of intensities with a selection of different ingredients. The best part is being able to sample the varieties on site with clear descriptions and a list of ingredients. Am partial to the "Premium" and "Kyoto." These are perfect for light miso soup. Worth the trip!

The dashi packets from here have really elevated my comfort dishes at home. Will be back to restock!

Teishoku is delicious! Especially the miso with the dash broth I love that the eating area is part of the spacious interior so you can people watch and also browse the products at Cibone (two are connected inside the same space). The consistent interior theme of natural wood throughout the store really brings the concept together. Staff are friendly and you can try dashi samples
