Dinner at Morimoto

On Friday, Nov. 8, I had the opportunity to visit the Morimoto Restaurant, which is run by former Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. I had the "omakase", which is the "chef's choice" meal. This allows the chef to prepare a multi-course meal using the best ingredients he has available and to create whatever strikes his fancy. Several of the items I ate were not on the menu. It was a fantastic dinner, and I encourage anyone to give it a try sometime. After I finished, Chef Morimoto signed my Iron Chef book and took a picture with me. Note: in some of the pictures, the color of the food appears a bit washed out - this is due to the flash from my camera. For more information about the restaurant, there was a special called "Morimoro: R.A.W." made by The Food TV Network about its creation. I do not know when it will be aired again.
