Oto-Oto express opened up at Union Station

downtown LA  

Oto-Oto Express, the new food kiosk just opened up inside Union station and I was there for grand opening. The new food kiosk now serving the favorite on-the-go foods of Japan including bento, rice balls, poke bowls and more.

Oto-Oto express is the first U.S. railway eatery from Ramla, Japan's third largest restaurant company, which operates five full-service restaurants in California.
To ensure the authenticity of the food at all Oto-Oto restaurants and the new outpost at Union Station, they bring chefs from Japan rather than relaying on local professionals who often westernize dishes. This is a difference that enables Oto-Oto to serve a menu with the same flavor profiles and presentations as you would enjoy in Japan.

They were giving away some samples of beef, salmon and fried chicken.

making crepes

Made to order Matcha green tea special
Strawberries, sweet red beans, matcha sauce, matcha ice cream, condensed milk, and house made whipped cream. I really enjoyed my crepe. The crepe was soft, not crispy which I like.

Pork Tonkatsu Gen wiches 
"Gen wiches" means genmai (brown rice) sandwich.
They cook brown rice in dashi so it's more flavorful.

I really enjoyed my karaage bento

Premium tea gift box set by teabook

Premium tea gift box set by teabook

products  

Assortment box of loose leaf of teabook teas with tumbler. The pre-portioned high-quality packets enable on-the-go brewing without oversteeping in any 12 oz cup; you can leave the tea leaves longer (1 to 2 hours) without worrying about the tea becoming bitter. Box includes four varieties of tea: White, Green, Red, and Oolong; and one special premium tea. We purposely seek out high-elevation, quality tea from small farms that don't use pesticides. We hand-select higher quality teas to avoid bitterness and astringency, eliminating the concern of over-steeping.

Teas includes:
WHITE:Silver Needle white tea from Xiangxi, Hunan, China. The dry leaf invites you with hints of honeydew melon and when brewed an aroma of sweet bread and blackberry pie emerges. The light gold liquor has flavor notes dance between shortbread, biscuits with sweet cream and even hints of rose.

GREEN:Green Bud green tea from Changde, Hunan, China. This green tea is a mild, savory, buttery winter treat. This beautiful twisted and rolled leaf slightly opens in the first steep releasing aromatic hints of fresh vegetables and spearmint.

OOLONG: Bai Hao Oolong tea (Oriental Beauty) from Nideng, Fujian, China.
This Bai Hao Oolong tea is golden amber liquor with a lovely sweet aroma that resemble fresh dark chocolate and hints of raspberry..

RED: Sunset Red (Hunan Hong) from Changde, Hunan, China.
We call this tea Sunset Red reflecting both its color and warming flavor. It is robust, sweet and fresh. The aromas and flavors dance between soft buttery caramels and milk chocolate! A smooth and tasty treat any time of day. The finish is floral and lingers a bit on the tongue.

Great tea wherever you go with Teabook!

Dishwasher Safe. NOT microwave safe. CAUTION contents may be hot. Can be used for iced tea.
