おおよそ

Tucked away down a Ginza 7-chome side street and down the stairs, small plates specialist Ooyoso eschews a fixed menu for omakase courses featuring soulful home-style dishes like sardine simmered in fermented rice bran and rolled omelet stuffed with spicy cod roe.

01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Down an alleyway in Ginza 7-chome, step down into the basement and you will find Ooyoso, where no printed set menu awaits. Seating roughly 10 guests, this intimate establishment invites diners to place themselves entirely in the proprietor's hands, enjoying an omakase course tailored by the landlady.

The meal is composed of understated, nutrient-rich home-cooked dishes crafted with quiet care. Plates arrive in small portions: sardine nukadaki (a regional specialty from Fukuoka simmered in fermented rice bran), plump dashi-rolled omelet wrapped around mentaiko, horse mackerel namero, and braised lotus root kinpira. With crisp-fried mountain yam, hearty tonjiru pork soup, and raw egg over rice to finish, the progression delivers comforting warmth while keeping the drinks flowing.

To accompany the food, there is a thoughtful lineup of partners, including select sakes such as Kankiku from Chiba alongside various wines. Because the kitchen and dining room are managed as a single-handed operation, booking ahead is recommended before visiting.
