Ota-Ya is known for great sushi and sashimi dishes, most popular of which being the Chef's Special Rolls, Cucumber Roll with tuna or the Enter The Dragon Roll. Of course, raw fish isn't everyones cup of tea, so there are other dishes such as Chilean Sea Bass and Filet Mignon. To add to the romance and ambience, booths are separated by white clothes draped between them. If you don't want romance, pull up a stool next to the sushi bar and watch the action.
