Are you a fan of Japanese food<\/strong>? Yes, or no, you definitely don’t wanna miss this place! There’s a new area called Little Tokyo<\/strong> located on the Upper Ground floor<\/strong> of Kota Kasablanka Mall, South Jakarta<\/strong>. As the name implies, Little Tokyo<\/strong> is a new dining area which is connected to the Food Society area at UG level<\/strong>, where we can explore Japanese cuisine<\/strong> in one location. Yay!<\/em> So, just a few days ago, we were given the opportunity by Mall Kota Kasablanka<\/strong> to take over their Instagram account, and we explored what’s inside this new area. Some of the established F&B brands are available here, such as Donburi Ichiya<\/strong>, Menya Sakura<\/strong>, Ootoya<\/strong>, Nama Sushi<\/strong>, and Zhuma (opening soon)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Explore-Japanese-culinary-at-Little-Tokyo-Mall-Kota-Kasablanka-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” title_text=”Explore Japanese culinary at Little Tokyo Mall Kota Kasablanka”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Exterior-look-of-Ootoya-Restaurant-Little-Tokyo-Mall-Kota-Kasablanka-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” title_text=”Exterior look of Ootoya Restaurant – Little Tokyo Mall Kota Kasablanka”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hot-Ocha-and-Cold-Ocha-at-Ootoya-Restaurant-Little-Tokyo-Mall-Kota-Kasablanka-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” title_text=”Hot Ocha and Cold Ocha at Ootoya Restaurant – Little Tokyo Mall Kota Kasablanka”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_video admin_label=”Video” src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NfqTNDfJsSA” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”on” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” custom_padding=”0px|||” padding_mobile=”on” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” parallax_2=”off” parallax_method_2=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”justified” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_font=”Open Sans||||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|”]<\/p>\n It’s nice to find Ootoya<\/strong>, one of our favorite restaurants in Little Tokyo<\/strong>, Mall Kota Kasablanka<\/strong>. As you may already know, Ootoya is a popular Japanese restaurant originated from Japan<\/strong>, and take pride in serving authentic Japanese home cooked<\/strong> fare to the general public since 1958. To start our meal, we had Tofu Salad (IDR 39K)<\/strong> at Ootoya<\/strong>. It’s a very simple salad, which consisted of homemade tofu, Jako (small fish), fresh vegetables, and Nori, served with vinegar and shoyu based<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Tofu-Salad-at-Ootoya-Restaurant-Little-Tokyo-Mall-Kota-Kasablanka-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” title_text=”Tofu Salad at Ootoya Restaurant – Little Tokyo Mall Kota Kasablanka”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Row” make_fullwidth=”on” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” use_custom_gutter=”off” padding_mobile=”on” allow_player_pause=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_equal=”off” parallax_1=”off” parallax_method_1=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” custom_padding=”0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”justified” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_font=”Open Sans||||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|”]<\/p>\n dressing, but it’s very popular among the girls in Japan<\/strong>. I really liked it because it’s served cold, low calorie for my diet, and very refreshing! For the main course, we tried Hokke fish<\/strong>, as recommended by them. I heard from them that Hokke<\/strong> is a common name for Okhotsk atka mackerel in Japan<\/strong>, and is very popular in Japan<\/strong>. The fish was cut in the middle, laid flat, and charcoal grilled, served with grated daikon radish, white rice, miso soup, pickles, and hijikini (simmered Hijiki seaweed). I eat a lot of fish, but it was a new experience with Hokke<\/strong>. It tasted slightly salty, firm in texture yet juicy and so delicious! Although there are bones, we can easily take them off, so no need to worry!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hokke-at-Ootoya-Restaurant-Little-Tokyo-Mall-Kota-Kasablanka-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” custom_margin=”0px|||” title_text=”Hokke at Ootoya Restaurant – Little Tokyo Mall Kota Kasablanka”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Remove-the-bone-before-you-eat-Hokke-at-Ootoya-Restaurant-Little-Tokyo-Mall-Kota-Kasablanka-by-Myfunfoodiary-01.jpg” title_text=”Remove the bone before you eat Hokke at Ootoya Restaurant – Little Tokyo Mall Kota Kasablanka”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hijikini-for-side-dish-at-Ootoya-Restaurant-Little-Tokyo-Mall-Kota-Kasablanka-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” title_text=”Hijikini for side dish at Ootoya Restaurant – Little Tokyo Mall Kota Kasablanka”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”justified” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” text_font=”Open Sans||||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|”]<\/p>\n And finally, the dessert! I recommend you to end your meal with Blamanje (IDR 35K)<\/strong> when in Ootoya<\/strong>. Blamanje<\/strong> consisted of soymilk pudding, served with matcha ice cream beneath it. The pudding was so smooth, best to enjoyed it with the brown sugar. It was absolutely simple and tasty!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Image” src=”http:\/\/myfunfoodiary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Blamanje-at-Ootoya-Restaurant-Little-Tokyo-Mall-Kota-Kasablanka-by-Myfunfoodiary.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”left” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” title_text=”Blamanje at Ootoya Restaurant – Little Tokyo Mall Kota Kasablanka”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”justified” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Overall, we had a great experience, and once again, Ootoya<\/strong> is still the best place to eat if you are looking for authentic Japanese comfort food<\/strong>.
