MGM Grand welcomes Iron Chef Morimoto’s Momosan Pop-Up Series

Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto will introduce his celebrated ramen restaurant Momosan Ramen & Sake through a series of pop-up dinner experiences January 23-26 at his eponymous restaurant at MGM Grand. Guests can enjoy a taste of the ramen-forward concept through an exclusive a la carte menu, available only in the Morimoto lounge. Momosan, a nickname of Chef Morimoto, debuted in New York City in 2016 to consumer and critical acclaim and long lines.

“Momosan pays homage to my childhood in Hiroshima, where I developed an early love of noodles,” said Iron Chef Morimoto. “While ramen is our focus, we also feature a variety of other traditional and contemporary Japanese-inspired comfort foods. I’m honored to share one of my favorite and most personal culinary projects with MGM Grand’s guests and visitors.”
