In those days, no one imagined that a diner

would be able to turn into a restaurant chain. OOTOYA, however, flourished and established its current business model after facing a number of obstacles and gradually evolving its business. We are proud to say that OOTOYA is a pioneer among diner chains. Japan is a super-aging society with increasing single-person households and Brand Identity double-income households.

We will appoint dedicated staff to oversee different divisions across the company, including those responsible for human resources, education, food education and sales, to achieve an optimal work-life balance by encouraging employees to use all the paid leave that they are granted and promoting proper working hours. In addition, we will strive to help employees improve

their mental and physical health by ensuring that every employee undergoes a medical checkup and a stress check and conducting better follow-ups with our employees. We use ingredients only if information such as where they came from, where they were processed, what they are made of and how they were made is disclosed. When buying vegetables, regardless of whether it is domestic or overseas, we always visit the production site to check how they are cultivated, how the use of pesticides and fertilizers is managed and the test results of pesticide residue. We also visit factories that produce seasonings, meat products and other products delivered to our restaurant on a daily basis as well as frozen foods in order to check the sanitary conditions, the production flows, and temperature control of the factories, refrigerators and freezers. Accredited as a Health & Productivity Management Organization (White 500) Sanitary Management We believe that health-conscious management of the

company is an investment in the maintenance and promotion of employee health, which in turn will lead to improved performance and corporate value. Based on this philosophy, we put health management into practice from a viewpoint of corporate management In 2019, The Nippon Kenko Kaigi (Japan Health Council) selected OOTOYA as a Health & Productivity Management Organization (White 500) among large-scale corporations. The organization appreciated OOTOYA’s contribution to people’s health since the establishment of the company and other initiatives such as the establishment of the OOTOYA Declaration of Health-conscious Management. To ensure the proper management and safe provision of food, not only our restaurant staff conducts regular checks but also our Food Hygiene Research Institute and third-party organizations conduct sanitary inspections at our restaurants. The inspectors check many things, including the cleanliness of the store, handling of food and cooking utensils,

washing of hands and appearance of employees. Initiatives for Health Education Quality Inspection OOTOYA provides health education courses to employees so that they can offer correct information about diet to customers. Also, since March 2010, we have been holding periodic “food education seminars” supervised by a dietitian for customers at all OOTOYA restaurants. The seminars have been quite popular as worthwhile opportunities to learn the fundamentals of one’s dietary needs. 大戸屋 食育 The state of sanitary at all restaurants is checked through both visual inspections and bacterial examination of food samples as well as swab samples of parts of the restaurants to prevent food poisoning and the rotting of food. Bacteriological examinations are conducted by the Food Hygiene Research Institute and third-party organizations. https://shokuiku.ootoyacom/ Dietary Seminars for Adults 5 010 0092832261907.indd 5 PDF010 0092832261907.indd 6 6-7 2019/07/12 4:21:55 010

OOTOYA’s hand-made tofu is, as the name suggests, all made by hand at the restaurant. All tofu we use is made of Toyomasari soybeans, a cultivar of soybeans of Hokkaido which

have a wonderfully strong sweet flavor. The high concentration of soy milk produced from the squeezed beans is then solidified using natural bittern called nigari drawn from the seawater of the Sea of Okhotsk. Tofu made of only soy milk and nigari without any additives is safe and healthy. As it is freshly made, the taste is exceptional. Cooking in the Kitchen of the Restaurant Cooking in the Kitchen of the Restaurant is the key to realizing OOTOYA’s philosophy. After receiving an order from a customer, each dish is made by hand with the utmost care. That is why we can deliver such great tastes of freshlymade dishes with our ingredients Daikon radish is grated moments just before it is served. We prepare vegetables in the kitchen of the restaurant. Grated daikon radish is served as part of the grilled fish menu. At our restaurants, daikon is grated moments before it is served to customers. When grated, daikon produces a pungent-tasting element called isothiocyanate, which

enhances the fat of the fish, making it even tastier. Grated daikon brings out the naturally sharp taste of the daikon radish, and when freshly grated it complements the fish perfectly. To make the best use of an ingredient is to draw out its natural qualities. Maximizing such qualities is all about the extra effort. OOTOYA does not use precut vegetables. All are fresh and washed, peeled, and prepared in the kitchen of the restaurant Naturally we are very particular about the origins of our vegetables and the distribution route taken. Therefore, we always take the time to visit those sites and thoroughly check the cultivation methods of the vegetables, which remain whole and not cut. From the moment the products arrive at the restaurant, they are kept at the optimum temperature until served to our customers. By managing the product freshness thoroughly, we can provide fresh crisp vegetables to customers every day. We wash, cut and cook vegetables in the kitchen of the restaurant. It

is our desire to provide well-balanced meals with fresh vegetables. That is why we put in the extra effort from the preparation stage and take great care when cooking each meal at the kitchen of the restaurant. The secret taste comes from “pickling.” The techniques of malting and fermentation have been around a long time in Japanese history. These are part of the Japanese food culture we are proud of to the world. Some fermented foods include soy sauce, miso, vinegar and other seasonings, as well as natto and tsukemono (preserved vegetables). OOTOYA actively looks for and appreciates these natural umami (good flavors) and tastes that have existed for many years. By marinating meat or fish in fermented seasonings such as moromi (main mash) and soy sauce koji, the natural taste of the product is accentuated, creating a much stronger depth of flavor. To create a natural and mild taste with ingredients and fermented seasonings, OOTOYA makes a point of carefully pickling meat and fish

when the time is right for each serving of them in-store. We grill fish on charcoal. Each ingredient is freshly coated in bread crumbs and fried just before being served. OOTOYA grills fish and meat using charcoal highly effective in heating. Charcoal emits far-infrared rays, which make the surfaces of fish and meat hot quicker than gas burners do. That prevents glutamic acid, a source of umami or savory taste, in the ingredients from flowing out from fish and meat, giving them a depth of flavor. The addition of the unique fragrant flavor of charcoal makes you enjoy the crispy texture it offers. As fish and meat are grilled upon receiving an order, it takes a little extra time until the meal is ready. However, in order to provide the most delicious meals, OOTOYA takes great pride in ensuring that every dish is grilled to perfection. OOTOYA’s cutlets are covered with raw bread crumbs. Upon receiving an order, cutlets are coated in the raw bread crumbs and fried on low heat

in-store. Raw bread crumbs contain a certain amount of moisture and when fried protect the taste of ingredients. If a moderate amount of moisture is left, the bread crumbs come out light and crunchy. Each grain is larger than that of dried bread crumbs and gives much greater volume when cooked. The texture of these bread crumbs when eaten is exceptional When frying, we make sure to maintain the optimal frying time and temperature required for each ingredient, to ensure the most deliciously appetizing finish. *Some OOTOYA restaurants grill fish and meat on an open flame. We shave dried bonito at the restaurant every day. We make dashi (soup stock) at the restaurant. OOTOYA makes fresh dashi at the restaurant every day. Our dashi is made from katsuo hon-karebushi freshly shaved at the restaurant. The dashi is drawn out of carefully selected kelp. It is a combination of sardine, auxis and mackerel flakes. At our restaurants, we maximize the characteristics of each type of dashi to

create a synergistic combination that brings out the umami of ingredients. Umami is one of the five flavors that have been long since been cultivated in Japanese cuisine, alongside the sweet, salty, bitter and sour. To bring out this umami, dashi made from bonito and kelp is essential as part of the Japanese cuisine. Moreover, by intensifying dashi, you can reduce your salt intake and still enjoy the rich umami. OOTOYA spares no effort to go that extra mile to make the perfect dashi at the restaurant. When bonito flakes are exposed to air, they get oxidized and lose flavor. To ensure that customers can enjoy the full flavor of flakes of high-end katsuo hon-karebushi, a piece of dried bonito covered with mold, we independently developed a small shaving machine, which allows us to shave dried bonito at the restaurant anytime we need. Katsuo hon-karebushi is made of the finest bonito made with the traditional methods that have been handed down from one generation to another for about 300

years in Makurazaki, Kagoshima Prefecture. It takes more than six months to complete the entire process to produce katsuo hon-karebushi. The bonito is repeatedly covered in mold and left in the sun to dry until it has a condensed umami of the most delightful smell and taste. 9 010 0092832261907.indd 9 PDF010 0092832261907.indd 10 10-11 2019/07/12 4:22:04 010 0092832261907.indd 10 2019/07/12 2019/07/16 4:22:05 16:58:18 Source: http://www.doksinet Vision Statement To us, the table at home is where the best food is enjoyed.

Project to encourage “Children’s Learning” Since 2012, OOTOYA has donated part of the profits from Tohoku-related dishes on its menu to the children affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake. In 2014, we began offering support to schools in affected areas through afterschool programs called “Collaboration Schools” operated by the certified nonprofit organization Katariba. We are cooperating with the organization to provide a safe environment where children affected by the disaster can learn. In FY2018, we worked with students of Futaba Future

High School in Fukushima Prefecture to develop special dishes called “meals from my hometown,” which are designed to raise awareness of Fukushima’s food among customers across Japan. In FY2019, we will provide the ingredients and recipes of OOTOYA to the children attending Adachi Base, a program operated by Katariba to facilitate “learning” through food. The dishes developed in collaboration with the high school students of Fukushima Prefecture Received the “Eco Mark” at all domestic stores OOTOYA is aware of the environmental impact of its business activities and has established the “OOTOYA Environmental Policy” with the aim of engaging in environmental activities. OOTOYA is increasing efforts to encourage the sustainable development of society and create a society that values recycling. In August 2018, all OOTOYA restaurants in Japan received the “Eco Mark Restaurant” certification from the Japan Environment Association Towards the discontinuation of plastic

straw usage The escalation of ocean pollution from waste plastic has become a social issue. In April 2019, the Group terminated the stocking of straws for the drink bar and stopped using plastic straws in principle so as to help reduce plastic waste as much as possible. 13 010 0092832261907.indd 13 14-15 PDF010 0092832261907.indd 2019/07/12 4:22:11 2019/07/16 16:58:20 Source: http://www.doksinet Another dining room of yours OOTOYA Holdings Co., Ltd 5F, Taiju Seimei Mitaka Building, 1-20-8, Nakacho, Musashino-shi, Tokyo 180-0006 TEL 0422-26-2600 (representative) FAX 0422-26-2605 https://www.ootoyajp/ 005 0092832261907.indd 1 PDF010 0092832261907.indd 16 2019/07/12 2019/07/16 3:55:44 16:58:20
