Morimoto Asia Hosts Craft Beer Dinner with Winter Garden-Based Crooked Can Brewing Company
Intimate dinner will debut Crooked Can’s Cherry Blossom Kolsch – created specifically for Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs
If you love craft beer and delicious food, then you have to check out this upcoming dining experience at Morimoto Asia!
The cherry blossom, or sakura, is widely regarded as Japan’s unofficial national flower. There are dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan, most of which bloom for only a couple of days each spring. The seasonal spectacle is celebrated with hanami, or cherry blossom viewing, parties under the trees. It is in this spirit that Crooked Can Brewing Co. worked in partnership with Morimoto Asia to create this unique, seasonal, Cherry Blossom Kolsch. This signature beer will be debuted on March 3rd and is available only at Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs – and like the cherry blossom itself – for a limited time.
