Ohtani

At Ootani, we serve 'Braised Rice with Sea Bream and Seasonal Vegetables' cooked in a clay pot for each group at the end of the meal. The braised rice is carefully prepared using only the bones of the sea bream and kelp to make a rich dashi, which is then used to slowly cook the rice. The flavors and aromas of the shredded sea bream and seasonal vegetables are captured, allowing you to enjoy the gentle taste that the ingredients naturally possess. The vegetables change every month, so just like our other dishes, you can savor a braised rice that reflects the four seasons of Japan.

At Ootani, we serve 'Smooth Sesame Tofu' as a palate cleanser in the middle of our course meals. This dish, made from three components: sesame crackers, sesame cream, and sesame tofu, is all prepared in-house from scratch. Similar to our 'Steamed Rice in Clay Pot', it is a staple item on Ootani's menu. The subtly sweet and fragrant sesame crackers are carefully roasted to bring out the aroma, mixed with a special dough, and baked to perfection. The sesame cream, with a moderate bitterness, is made by thoroughly blending simmered sake and sesame paste to achieve a smooth texture. The elastic sesame tofu is meticulously crafted using kombu dashi, the historically renowned Yoshino kuzu starch, and ground sesame. Each component offers a unique flavor and texture: the crunch of the crackers, the smoothness of the cream, and the elasticity of the tofu, creating a playful dish that can even be likened to a Japanese sweet.

The dinner course consists of 11 dishes, while the lunch course has 8 dishes, both featuring only one type of omakase course, with a menu change every month. The course meal, starting with an appetizer, is Japanese cuisine that brings out the original flavors of the ingredients themselves. For the finale of the course, we serve a rice dish cooked in an earthen pot with sea bream and seasonal vegetables, prepared for each group of customers (dinner only).
