Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you visit Otogo.
What is Otogo?
Otogo is a Sydney-born Japanese fast-food brand serving warm, additive-free onigiri (rice balls), cup soba, ochazuke and karaage — made fresh and handed to you in about 90 seconds. It was founded by Mitsuhiro Yashio, a chef of 27 years trained in sushi and Kyoto kaiseki.
Where are Otogo's stores in Sydney?
Otogo has two locations: Town Hall (Ground Floor, 303 Pitt Street, Sydney NSW 2000, in the CBD) and Ultimo (56–58 Bay Street, Ultimo NSW 2007, near UTS and the University of Technology / Sydney University precinct).
What are Otogo's opening hours?
Town Hall is open every day, 8am–8pm. Ultimo is open Monday to Saturday 11am–8pm and Sunday 11am–4pm (closed on public holidays).
How much does Otogo cost?
Onigiri start at $3.90, cup soba from $10.50, and combo sets from $10.90. Otogo is priced as everyday fast food — not a premium restaurant.
Is Otogo's food really additive-free?
Yes. Otogo uses 100% additive-free ingredients and carefully selected, often organic produce, including Kyoto-style dashi. The goal is warm, real food you can eat quickly without guilt.
Does Otogo have vegan and vegetarian options?
Yes. Otogo offers a Vegan Combo and several plant-based onigiri such as miso eggplant, miso edamame, soy carrot and chilli tomato.
Are there gluten-free options at Otogo?
Yes — Otogo offers a Gluten-Free Combo and gluten-free onigiri options. Because the kitchen also handles wheat and buckwheat (soba), please let our staff know about any allergies.
How is Otogo ready in 90 seconds?
Otogo's kitchen is purpose-built for speed: an onigiri machine, a soba machine and a pressure fryer, plus self-order kiosks. Most orders are prepared and handed over in about 90 seconds, served warm.
Who is Otogo for?
Otogo is built for health-conscious people, busy professionals on a lunch break, and families who want quick food without additives — anyone tired of choosing between fast and good-for-you. If you're after heavy, deep-fried Western fast food, Otogo will feel different by design.
Does Otogo offer dine-in and takeaway?
Both. Order at the self-service kiosk, then choose to eat in or take away.
Who founded Otogo?
Otogo was founded in 2023 by Mitsuhiro Yashio — a chef of 27 years (five years in sushi, five in Kyoto kaiseki, and 17 years running restaurants in Sydney). Otogo is built on Ishoku Dougen: the idea that food and medicine come from the same source.
