Ohtsu was established in 1991 by owner-chef Takashi Ohtsu. In recent years his son, Takaaki — who won the 2022 edition of RED-U-35, a competition that has become a gateway to success for young chefs — has been strengthening his presence in the role of sous-chef. The dishes make skillful use of local ingredients on a foundation of classic French cuisine.
