I've eaten at the Momofuku Ko location in NYC previously and had high expectations of Shoto. Shoto definitely doesn't disappoint and in some ways surpasses Ko!
It's simply one of the greatest dining experiences I've had with each dish being extremely well executed. Not a single "miss" on the menu.
Please see the pictures I've posted if you want details of each dish.
I highly recommend ordering the matching drink menu (long menu) as the pairings are really great. The Sake is probably the smoothest I've ever had, none of the harshness I've had with any other Sake.
A few of the wines are French from Alsace, which I love and a few selections from Ontario. All the wine pairings had that magical quality of somehow making the food & wine taste better as you switch back and for between them.
Watching the skilled chefs work is a treat for Food TV fans as well. Seeing the precision slicing & technique inspires me to cook better at home. Foodies will have entertainment all night!
If you have the chance, treat yourself to a the Shoto experience, it's well worth it
