Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs is in Full Bloom to Celebrate Spring
Are you ready to celebrate spring? Or is trying new food and drink more your speed? Either way, Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs (located in the Walt Disney World Resort) has been officially celebrating spring since March 15th, and they still have a few more events lined up to educate and entertain guests. According to the Disney Parks Blog:
Seas of Japan 101 (March 30, 2018; 4-6 p.m.; $45): Learn more about the seas of Japan and the delicacies that come from their waters. During this two-hour educational seminar, you'll learn while tasting select menu items paired with sake.
Morimoto Asia's Guest Chef Series (April 3, 2018; 7-9 p.m.; $120): Take part in the inaugural event for this new series as the culinary talent from Morimoto Asia welcomes Chef Hitoshi Sugiura from Tokyo, Japan. The chefs will collaborate on a six-course Pan-Asian dinner, paired with wines from across the globe, for guests to enjoy.
Ramen Seminar and Tasting (April 7, 2018; 12-3 p.m.; $36): Spend an afternoon learning about the many types of Asian noodles, then stick around to taste several varieties of ramen dishes.
Matsuri Festival (April 15, 2018; 12-4 p.m.; $45 for guests ages 10 and up; children under 9 are free): Perfect for family fun, guests will have the chance to indulge in multiple street food stations, four beer and cocktail stations, and Japanese carnival games and activities suitable for guests of all ages.
Some of the festival offerings include locally brewed Crooked Can Sakura Kolsh, Cherry Blossom Martini, Blue Cherry Cocktail, Chilled Panacea Oysters, and a Sakura and Peach Bavarian Dessert.
Personally I would love to attend the ramen seminar, and the sakura martini does look delicious. The specialty foods and drinks are all inspired by the blossoming cherry blossoms in Japan, a popular tourist sight in the spring time. Cheers!
