MUMBAI, SEPTEMBER 13, 2022: The first restaurant to offer contemporary Japanese Cuisine in India – Wasabi by Morimoto at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai paved the path for a revolution when it was launched in 2004.
To celebrate its milestone 18th Anniversary, Wasabi by Morimoto will be showcasing never-before-seen Menus by our NEW Japanese Master Chefs – Chef Shimomura Kazayu (right) & Chef Atusi Kohara (left) culminating in the visit of Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. A month-long celebration of thoughtful Japanese food & beverages curated by our Masters from 13th September – 09 October 2022.
Patrons can expect a riot of flavours and textures as each Master Chef showcases the best of his repertoire during the festivities. Master Chef Shimomura Kazayu curates a Chef’s tasting Omakase to tantalise the senses; Sushi Maestro Atusi Kohara Jr. creates magic with his sushi and sashimi menu; nostalgic Wasabi by Morimoto favourites make a come-back along with a brand new selection of dishes for you to explore.
The piece de resistance is a tantalizing Omakase prepared by Chef Masaharu Morimoto to pay homage to the grand legacy of Wasabi by Morimoto and usher it into the next phase!
