Morimoto NYC: Omakase bar night 2, the porn

Back at the omakase bar for night 2

The bar

The chefs

Shira Uo Kakiage ice fish tempura

Then the dish for the icefish tempura became our sake cup

Chu Toro Tartar once Chef Morimoto opened the box the right side contained: nori paste, cream cheese, chopped chives, micro shiso, wasabi, avocado, and puffed rice. he then peeled back a green leaf to reveal chopped chu toro and caviar. The stick was used to combine them as you saw fit

Oh Toro seared with 20 yr old soy

Sushi Kinmedai and Maguro golden eye snapper and bluefin tuna

Raw Bar cold spiny lobster, stone crab, and king crab, with Thai soy-chillies, ginger-scallion, wasabi-cocktail, and citrus cevice sauces.

Tako ban Fritters, octopus, foie gras , and lobster fritters with ponzu and lobster sauces

Huso muiko river fish and veggies in scallion broth in paper over a flame

Sushi kohada and awabe shad and abalone

Flash frozen Yuzu ice cream the chef dips the ice
cream foam in liquid nitrogen

Uni Risotto with truffle and nori paste

 

Dry aged waygu beef with sweet onion jus

Sushi Kisu and hokki silver whiting and surf clam

the bathroom just because it is very cool even before 1.8 liters of Morimoto's private label ginjo sake.

this is an amazing looking omakase. can you give a rough idea of cost - without liquor?

[augieland]

I cannot say for sure, you should probably call the restaurant. There is an Omakase offered in the dining room for $120 but I believe that has little to do with the meal at the omakase bar which is a separate and unique thing.

Yes, yes, but how did it TASTE?
