About this place
At lunchtime, Oomi is less about choosing individual dishes and more about enjoying the day's cooking as it arrives. Diners who have tried the one-soup, seven-dish set have reported grilled fish, yuba, Ōmi konnyaku, and a mix of salmon and mentaiko. Fish and vegetables feature across the meal, served in a succession of small portions.
The standout dish varies. One lunch was praised for its yuba and tofu soup, while on another day chilled soup was the main attraction. Diners have also mentioned dried kinmedai and overnight-dried horse mackerel among the grilled fish. With the menu left to the chef, lunch suits those who enjoy discovering seasonal dishes rather than coming for a particular item.
Dinner is also served omakase-style. One reported meal included house-dried kinmedai, fresh yuba and sea bream marinated with ginger, followed by rice topped with tofu. On another evening, a diner enjoyed mackerel sashimi, mackerel milt and a soup of pike conger with spring onion. The selection changes from day to day. Guests can dine at the counter, and reservations are recommended for dinner. Oomi accepts cash only, so it is worth preparing before you go.
