A night of sake tasting to raise funds and awareness for sake breweries damaged in the Noto Peninsula Earthquake

02/07/2024

We look forward to welcoming Executive Chef Masaru Kajihara of for our fundraiser benefitting Ishikawa breweries who were damaged from the New Years earthquake.

Some of well-known and popular Japanese dishes such as sushi, tempura, and kaiseki (traditional multi-course meals) are not quite every day meals in Japan. More commonly found on everyday dining table is known as “ofukuro no aji,” or taste of mom’s home cooking prepared with fresh ingredients with a high concern for overall nutritious values and balance.

OOTOYA’s specialty is this traditional home cooking in set-meal style, or teishoku. Every day, we are working with our passion to pursuit perfect fusion of fresh ingredients, preparation techniques, and skilled chefs. We are delighted to introduce teishoku as an addition to sushi, tempura, and other Japanese menus currently available in New York. We hope to introduce teishoku to many more people, as we continue improving and expanding.

Join us February 12th from 6-9pm with many special guests for the evening.
