UZUKI NY
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.

MAI SHIOYAMA
Mai Shioyama has loved cooking since she was a child, influenced by her mother, who runs a kimono store.Despite pursuing a career in fashion, her life’s work was cooking, and the number of requests for developing menus and recipes for restaurants and cafes increased, which led her to open Wagamama, a restaurant with no menu in Fukuoka. She then relocated to Tokyo and began working as a culinary chef. In 2014, Mai published two recipe books, “Nitosuki” and “OISHII & GLUTEN FREE FUSION AND INTERNATIONAL RECIPES FOR LIFE”. In 2015, she opened a one-year-only pop-up restaurant, “MAI’S KITCHEN”, at Ginza’s long-established wine bar “GINZA Stock”, creating a unique culinary space and food that changed weekly. She was involved in a variety of activities, including menu development for corporations and hotels, cooking classes, product development, including creating original products for manufacturers and department stores, and recipe development. After getting married in 2017, she moved to New York. In 2020, she collaborated with “Pierre Hermé” in Tokyo, and in 2021, she produced a rice ball shop called “Omusubi to Sekai no Gohan” in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. She has been catering various private venues and collaborating with cultural event sites like galleries, schools, snowpeakUSA, etc.
SORATE
MATCHA & TEA RITUAL. The finest Japanese Tea and Matcha from family-owned farm in Uji, Kyoto.
In Uji, our farmers still hand-pick the leaf that is softest and freshest. This method is most often used for the manufacturing of premium-grade and competition grade. Sorate Tea and Matcha are grown in Ujitawara-cho, the small countryside town in Kyoto prefecture, where the farmer Nagatani Soen invented the method of manufacturing Japanese green tea in the middle of the Edo period.
This is also the place where the first tea tree seed was planted by a Japanese Buddhist priest who imported both Zen Buddhism and green tea to Japan from China around 700 A.D.—in fact advised the priests in Uji on how to cultivate and produce the beverage.
"In the heart of New York City’s SoHo, Sōrate emerges as a haven of tranquility and cultural fusion. Nestled along Sullivan Street, this Japanese teahouse, infused with Italian influence, redefines the art of mindful living."
