Otoko offers an unforgettable dining experience characterized by a journey through flavors and textures. The omakase features standout dishes like fried escargot and blue fin sashimi, with the chef's explanations enhancing the overall experience. Personalized menus for special occasions, such as birthdays, add a thoughtful touch. The small seating capacity creates an intimate atmosphere, making diners feel as if they are enjoying a private meal. The balance of nigiri and kaiseki dishes was exceptional.
The attached cocktail bar, Watertrade, provides a great selection of drinks, including well-crafted cocktails and sake pairings. Guests have praised the bartenders for their knowledgeable explanations of the drink menu. The staff explained the plethora of cocktail options. While some diners noted that certain dishes, including the Smoked Fish, may have been a bit salty or lost their punch, the majority found the food to be exceptional. The tempura, in particular, received positive remarks for its light batter and perfect cooking.
