Don’t expect your typical sushi at Otosan, you are going to get anything but that.

“We call it no soy sauce sushi. Sauce, garnishes and ingredients coming together so that each bite is in harmony,” Otosan owner Jae Woo said.

The sushi starts with the finest and freshest ingredients, including a number of fresh fish coming in directly from Japan. From their Japanese native Tamura Seigo, a third-generation sushi chef who learned his craft from both his great-grandfather and grandfather takes over.

“I found Chef on instagram, he was doing pop up dinners around Los Angeles. I was a little nervious attending, but I went and it was one of the most amazing dinners. We had been talking for several months. He is just a young and vibrant chef with creative ideas, he is incredibly hard working and passionate about sushi and is focused on procuring the best ingredients,” Jae said.

While you won’t get to experience the actual restaurant at the moment, once those doors do open you will want to experience all of Otosan.

“One of the most important parts of Otosan is the exhibition kitchen and people getting to sit around it,” Jae said. “The kitchen is essentially a billboard, you can see directly into the restaurant and see the chefs working. It is meant to feel interactive and like the staff is on stage.”
