森本 正治 (Morimoto)


Morimoto New York City is located in the located in the meat packing district of Manhattan. The outside of the restaurant gave me the feeling that I'm about to enter a Japanese rave but instead, I entered the world of Morimoto where the food is exquisite and service is amazing. The 8 course chef tasting menu ($120) included the following:
1. Toro tartare
2. Morimoto Sashimi with garlic and scallion oil
3. Japanese Seared Kanpachi
4. Market Oyster Steamer
5. Morimoto Nigiri Sushi
6. Intermezzo
7. Half Main Lobster / Flash Grilled Wagyu Strip
8. Chocolate Tart

Out of these dishes, the top dish was the Kanpachi which was accented with soy foam (yum) and the Wagyu part of the main course. The meat was just delicious.

The least favorite items were the Oyster Steamer (too fishy) and the Intermezoo House Made Ginger Ale (too acidic).
