Morimoto Asia celebrates Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs is honoring Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month on May 25, 2021, at 7 p.m. with the Suntory Morimoto Luau, a traditional Hawaiian-inspired feast accompanied by live entertainment.

The immersive dining experience will evoke the spirit of Asian American Pacific Islander culture with a lei greeting, hula dancers, and gourmet food stations, including sushi and poke bars, a whole roasted pig, hot items like the Kahuku Food Truck’s Famous Garlic Shrimp, desserts, and specialty craft cocktails.
