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.

Chef Morimoto signed my Iron Chef book. I've been told (thanks, Ben!) that the phrase on the right is "Yume wa ookiku, ne wa fukaku", which means "May your dreams be great and your roots go deep".
