Ototo
Business Categories
OTOTO is the
latest addition to the Sushi Den and Izakaya Den, a more casual ambience, raw
bar and Robata grilled skewers, sashimi, grilled whole fish, and noodles as
well as a premium sake list. While Izakaya is called Sushi Den's sister
restaurant, OTOTO in Japanese means ""younger brother"".
Together they form a trifecta to honor Japanese cuisine on the
""Den Corner"". Sample Menu Items: â?¢ Catch of the Day
raw bar - selections served raw or grilled â?¢ Robata-style grilled fish and
meat skewers / yakitori â?¢ Grilled whole fish and foie gras â?¢ Live sea
urchin A robatayaki is shortened to just robata refers to a method of
cooking, similar to barbecue, in which items of food on skewers are
slow-grilled over hot charcoal - Binchotan charcoal. It is the informal
Japanese drinking establishment that serves food to accompany the drinks.
They are casual places for after-work drinking. Courses are served as the food is prepared
and generally made for ""sharing"". We refer to Izakaya Den, as our
""sister"" restaurant. The word OtÅto in a northern
Japanese dialect means ""younger brother"" and in the
dialect of Osaka it means ""fish"". Since our younger
brother hand selects our Japanese fish from the fish market in southern
Japan, for us this is the perfect name for our little brother restaurant.
