A grand opening ceremony took place over the weekend, welcoming ramen-lovers from around the city with a culinary display by Chef Morimoto as he broke down a 170-pound tuna, carving it up to create a 66-foot maki roll, all while Japanese taiko drums played in the background.

"I'm so grateful for the opportunity to open my very first restaurant in Boston in partnership with Patina Restaurant Group and Delaware North," said Chef Morimoto. "This location was designed to reflect a casually energetic atmosphere with a menu full of fan favorites combined with new flavors that offers guests both familiar dishes like ramen and also items they might not have thought to try before like our roast duck, which is one of my favorites."

A selection of grilled yakitori dishes and savory Izakaya bar snacks are also available with offerings like hamachi tacos, pan-fried pork gyoza, soft shell bao, sticky ribs, and spicy chicken wontons in Szechuan sesame chili sauce.

Later this year, guests will be able to enjoy fresh sushi to-go from the Momosan Sushi Counter.

Visitors can stop by for a quick meal and drink at the bar before catching their train, grab a bite on-the-go from the walk-up sushi counter, or come for dinner before or after catching a Celtics or Bruins game.

Grab-and-go service and lunch options are coming soon.

Momosan Boston is currently only accepting walk-in guests. Reservations will be made available later this year via OpenTable.com.

Momosan Boston's hours are currently 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Chef Morimoto hosted a launch party over the weekend that included traditional taiko drummers, a sake barrel breaking ceremony, and carving up a giant tuna to make a 66-foot long maki roll for guests to enjoy.
