I ordered the chargrilled Pacific Ocean Perch pickled in salted rice malt and mirin. This is a set meal which comes together with rice. But since I am not that hungry, I just ordered the set without rice.

Taste:8/10(Delicious. Ootoya is a cheap, simple and quick place where you can have good lunch and dinner. Since most dinner place have higher price tag, Ootoya can gets very crowded at night).
Price:8/10(Cheap. For price if 812 Yen, I get a decent dinner set shown below. Cheese cake ice cream at 315 Yen).
