Back by popular demand for the second year, Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs will be hosting their annual month-long Sakura Festival. The Sakura Festival is a Japanese tradition that is also known as the cherry blossom festival.
Morimoto Asia’s Sakura Festival will be held from March 8th to March 31st. The restaurant will be decorated with vibrant décor which will showcase the pink blooms of the cherry blossom. Make sure you get plenty of pictures during your visit as the décor will be perfect for showing off on Instagram!
