The Union Square store will celebrate its 10th anniversary in March. To commemorate this occasion, we are planning a special event.

1. Special Menu “ARIGATO GOZEN”… March 10 thru March 31

2. Special Event “Tuna Entertainment” … at 6 pm on Friday, March 14

This event is in collaboration with WOKUNI Restaurant. WOKUNI chefs break down a bluefin tuna caught in their fish farm in Japan in front of our dining guests. After the pieces are broken down, we auction off rare cuts of tuna for our guests. The guests can bid for those cuts, and the highest bidder enjoys our complimentary preparation. Please come to join us for this tuna breakdown show in Ootoya. Seats are very limited, and we accept reservations only on a first-come, first-served basis.

We want to sincerely thank our customers, vendors, and team members for your ongoing support since we opened. We are privileged to be part of the Union Square community and remain committed to growing together in the years ahead in this thriving neighborhood.

Have you tried the Onigiri from our Times Square Location? Whether for your busy lunchtime, a picnic in the park, or enjoying it at home, our Onigiri is perfect for any occasion.

Now we use THREE HERB PORK for the best taste and textures. THREE HERB PORK is a crossbreed of three distinct pig breeds raised on a diet consisting of three mineral-rich herbs. The result is a highly nutritious meat with a rich omega-6 acid content and a flavor profile that boasts sweet and juicy notes, as well as a rich umami taste. Indulge in the unique culinary experience with THREE HERB PORK at OOTOYA, an authentic Japanese restaurant in New York.
