Cuisine

Morimoto’s cuisine blends Japanese technique with global influences, from pristine sashimi and expertly crafted sushi to inventive entrées and seasonal sweets. This spirit of creativity extends to the restaurant’s omakase experience, where guests are immersed in a playful, interactive, and decidedly non-traditional style of dining that inspires curiosity with each course.
