Disney Springs is home to some of the best restaurants in Disney World, a number of them owned by renowned celebrity chefs.
From Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ to the upcoming EET be Maneet Chauhan, you’ll find all kinds of dining experiences to fit your style. Occasionally, you’ll even be able to meet some of these chefs on different occasions throughout the year. We’ve seen Chef Rick Bayless host a special event for a new menu launch at Frontera Cocina, Chef José Andrés hold a presentation during Flavors of Florida, and more. This holiday season, another popular chef is hosting a weekend of fun in his Disney Springs restaurant — Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto.
Morimoto Asia, Chef Morimoto’s first Pan-Asian restaurant, focuses on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean cuisines. This holiday season, you’ll be able to join him for a special event during a weekend of delicious eats and drinks.
On Friday, December 1st, and Saturday, December 2nd, Morimoto Asia is celebrating 100 years of House of Suntory whisky during the Suntory 100th Anniversary Tasting. From 5-6:30PM each evening, ticketed guests will sample fine whisky and small bites. The event is limited to a small number of guests, so get your tickets soon if you’re interested! The event costs $355 per person, plus tax and gratuity.
