The menu at Otsu Dining & Lounge is born from a meeting of two culinary worlds:
Otsu’s Japanese refinement and Ortam’s Mediterranean warmth.
Two traditions with different histories yet the same appreciation for craft, balance, and honest flavor.
Japanese cuisine brings precision, purity, and intention.
Mediterranean cuisine brings warmth, generosity, and soulful depth.
At Otsu, inspiration is taken from Japanese techniques like tataki, aburi, tare reductions, and miso curing then paired with Mediterranean notes such as chimichurri, paprika hummus, basil, pistachio, dates, citrus, and spice.
Every dish was designed with one question in mind:
How can we honor both cultures while expressing Otsu’s spirit of appreciation?
The clean, delicate precision of Japan meets the bold, vibrant generosity of the Mediterranean creating dishes that feel familiar, yet completely new.
The result is a menu that carries the heart of Ortam’s past experiences and the soul of Otsu’s philosophy.
A menu meant to be shared, savored, and enjoyed at your own rhythm whether through a curated Otsukaze journey or a relaxed Otsumeze platter in the lounge.
In this collaboration, flavor becomes a bridge.
Tradition meets curiosity.
And every plate becomes a small act of appreciation.
This is Otsu × Ortam.
This is where cultures meet — and connection begins.
