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
missing image of mango sorbet with yuzu raspberry foam and poppy seed tuille
chocolate pecan brownie with espresso ice cream and amaretto cream
the bathroom just because it is very cool even before 1.8 liters of Morimoto's private label ginjo sake.
i'll be at the omakase table tomorrow (friday nite) looking forward to it from your photos.

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

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.
