In the past, I had a general impression of Otoya, but since I learned about the charcoal-grilled salt koji pork belly, Otoya has become one of my daily dining choices.

I came here today to eat and chat with friends. Unexpectedly, Taipei Station was very crowded. You still have to wait for a table on weekday evenings, but you don't have to wait long, you can be seated in about 10 minutes.

The salted koji pork belly is still great and goes very well with beer! If you are coming to eat and don’t know what to order, please order the salted koji pork belly🐷

For those who like to eat Japanese simple meals and set meals, I always recommend Otoya. In addition to the affordable price, there are also many choices. Unlike the tonkatsu restaurant, which is all fried food, Otoya also has many Japanese stew dishes. , seasonal hot pot dishes or the classic grilled fish set meal. Breeze Shop also offers a 10% discount from the staff of the special store, so take advantage of it~
Because I wasn't feeling well today, I wanted to eat something warm and soft, so this time I ordered the "Clam Steamer Rice and Salted Koji Chicken and Wild Vegetable Hot Pot Set Meal" which I had never ordered before. After looking through the menu, I thought this looked like it. It’s both healthy and delicious, and it feels like it can replenish your physical strength. In addition, there are basically no minefields in Otoya’s cuisine, so I’m brave enough to try it🤣
Clam steamer rice is steamed with stock and soy sauce as a base. The mixed rice is topped with a layer of small clam meat. It looks great, but the taste is average when eaten alone. I feel that the umami flavor of the clams is not very prominent. The seasoning of the rice was also a bit bland, so I later ate it with the sesame salt used in Otoya Bibimbap from the can of Otoya Bibimbap that was attached, and it tasted much better. Or I could add some pot soup to go with it, which was also very good. The feeling of soup and rice is quite warm.
The Salted Koji Chicken and Wild Vegetable Hot Pot itself is very satisfying. It is just the kind of dish you would want to eat when you are feeling a little unwell. The broth made by simmering the wild vegetables and Salted Koji Chicken together is very sweet, and the wild vegetables also fully absorb the flavor of the broth. , maybe even children will love eating vegetables because of this pot! ? The meal also comes with a small plate of pickled radish, which is more salty than sweet. It is perfect as a garnish between meals. Overall, it is a very hearty and delicious meal, perfect for when you have a cold. Come and have a meal!
Another particularly recommended Otoya meal is the charcoal-grilled salt koji pork belly set meal. If you really want to eat Japanese-style grilled pork belly, come to Otoya! There is nothing better at the same price☺️
