Notes
Similar menu to Nobu's in NY (where Morimoto cut his teeth), but with a few of Morimoto's inventive twists. The omakase helps you to sample a variety of his dishes (and not have to decide what to order)! His sake is also great. Keep your eyes peeled for Morimoto himself -- he came over to our table while we enjoyed his food!

This was a weird museum -- some exhibits were broken, the caretaker was muttering that we couldn't see the movie because "somebody" wouldn't come in on their day off to fix a light bulb. Lots of curious things, but it was free, so a fun way to spend an hour.
