Ozu operates as both a restaurant and a market out of a small space on Lena Street, serving fresh homestyle Japanese food with lunch and dinner run as distinct services. The same room doubles as a shop, selling house-made senbei in flavors like norimaki, kurokosho (black pepper), uni, and ika (squid), plus shichimi and Ozu-branded t-shirts.
