Went to the Morimoto in NYC in April 2012, had the Omakase and thought it was decent without being spectacular. Now Morimoto has openened in South Beach, so, since we are here for a while decided to go try it out. This time we did not get their Omakase and ordered a la carte instead — it was pretty solid, I must say. The company, again, had us laughing insatiably all through the night.
Below are photos of some of the dishes we ordered at Morimoto on Tuesday (16-Dec-2014) night.
Some Royal Imperial caviar to start
Another one of those OMFG moments with the first zip of this 1999 S Salon champagne.
A sashimi platter: chu-toro, saba, aji, steal salmon.
A very good Montrachet
A-5 Wagyu and Uni sushi.
Uni Carbonara: inaniwa noodles, bacon, quail egg.
Tofu Cheesecake: coffee maple syrup, green tea ice cream, azuki cream
Salty Caramel Chocolate Tart featuring a chocolate sphere that implodes under a shot of fiery rum.
Mori-Monkey Bread: banana chocolate chip ice cream, banana cream, spiced milk chocolate sauce.
Coconut Mango Pudding with lemon yogurt powder, meringue, mochi, passion fruit cream and coconut green tea sorbet; and “minus 321˚” a spider web of white chocolate surrounded by liquid nitrogen shattered sorbets — Oh my!
