Grilled Japanese butterfish marinated in a special soy sauce-based koji and served with Japanese grated radish. Using Japanese fermented seasonings can soften the ingredients themselves and add depth to their flavors. In this case, a light fish tastes more flavorful.

CHEF’S COMMENTS
The fermentation of food creates additional flavors, and it has the effect of raising the nutritional value of the food. Fermented soybean and rice products such as soy sauce, miso (bean paste), sake (rice wine), natto (fermented soybeans), and shio koji (traditional condiment made of rice malt, salt, and water) are highly valued in Japanese food.
As people became more health-conscious after the unprecedented Corona disaster, the idea that the lactic acid bacteria in fermented seasonings made with koji could make people healthier became more popular.
We at Otoya are committed to providing dishes that will help people become healthier by eating them.
