World-renowned Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto is visiting Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs this holiday season for a weekend of special events.

First, on Friday, December 1, and Saturday, December 2, join Chef Morimoto for a celebration of 100 years of House of Suntory fine whiskys with the Suntory 100th Anniversary Tasting. Each evening from 5 - 6:30 pm, a limited number of guests will sample exceptional whiskys alongside small bites. Tickets are $355 plus tax and gratuity per person, and attendees must be 21+.

Later in the evening, on December 1 and 2, Chef Morimoto will host his highly exclusive "Momokase." Beginning at 7 pm, ten lucky guests each evening will enjoy an intimate seven-course meal personally prepared by the Iron Chef himself, paired with rare bottles from House of Suntory's signature whisky collection, including the option to upgrade to a ¼-ounce pour from one of only 200 bottles of Yamazaki 55 in the world. This unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity starts at $2,000 per person plus tax and gratuity. Must be 21 or older. Purchase tickets HERE.

Just came back to say that party of two availability has been added. Purchased my tickets this morning. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but my husband is. I mainly go for the food.

Chef Morimoto has been at all the of the 12 Beers of Christmas events I've attended. Nice guy. There are always opportunities for autographs & pictures.

$2K per guest for dinner, wow!

We met Chef during Food & Wine and he was a hoot. Multiple f-bombs while he was cooking! Very personable and we had a good chat with him. If we were going to be there, we would absolutely do both the whiskey tasting and seven course meal.

Now THESE are experiences worth paying for. Personally, I'd be interested in both the whiskey tasting with Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto and the lottery (and subsequent price tag) to have him prepare a seven-course meal for you. Both I would consider to be once-in-a-lifetime events. Not as interested in the beer tasting but if Morimoto is there it would at least pique my interest. I expect the whiskey tasting will sell out quickly (there were still tickets available for the 5pm December 2 tasting as of a few minutes ago). If I were in town, I'd definitely do it.

Tried to buy tickets for 12 Beers of Christmas today & the ticket portal said that parties of 2 were sold out for both seatings. If you wanted to buy 3 or more tickets - no problem. I’m hoping there’s just a glitch in the ticket system at the moment.
