Description

Some restaurants have stories; others create them. Meet The Office of Mr. Moto, a downtown spot that endeavors to bring history alive. Inspired by the late 1800s expedition of Commodore Perry, the restaurant is designed to mimic the worldly office of Mr. Moto, a fictionalized character who could have been aboard. The dining experience begins with an electronic letter containing a coded cipher to gain entry to the restaurant. It's all a bit mysterious, though their omakase is far from a secret. From black throat sea perch and red Gurnard to omakase standards like shima aji, their fish selection is impressive. Do take a drink to the downstairs library after dinner to continue the imaginative experience.
