Matsutake Omakase at Morimoto

Matsutake omakase! Say that one 10 times fast. October brings us yet another month-long omakase option (check out our preview of the omakase at Zama), this time a special menu at Morimoto (723 Chestnut St.) that celebrates the rare, expensive and in-season Matsutake mushroom, Japan’s answer to the black truffle. For $100 per person, diners are treated to a nine-course Matsutake fest. In a true Iron Chef move, the mushroom even makes its way into the ice cream machine for dessert. Peep the full menu after the jump.
