About this place
One diner who came for the fish chose sesame-dressed amberjack and grilled amberjack collar. The sesame brings a fragrant note to the fish’s rich flesh, while the collar is a dish to savour as you pick the meat from the bone. If you want to build a meal around fish, this pairing is a good place to start.
The menu also features sesame-dressed amberjack, Chigasaki isaki sashimi, yellowtail and aromatic-herb sushi rolls with pickled ginger, and seared bonito. The sashimi assortment is listed from 2 portions, at 1,300 yen per portion. It could suit a solo meal focused on a favourite fish or a shared spread of different plates.
Between fish dishes, one diner also enjoyed chilled, deep-fried eggplant simmered in broth, and oden that they described as thoroughly infused with a soy-based broth. Diners can choose their oden pieces, while the menu also lists Ohtaya’s yudofu topped with meat miso and beef tendon stew finished with a squeeze of sudachi.
One account of a meal mentions pairing the food with a fresh sudachi sour. Drinks include sake, beer and wine, too. With small plates to nibble alongside the fish and drinks, there is room to try a few different dishes over the course of the evening.
