Every dish we had at Kabooki Sushi's 17-course omakase dinner

The city's sushi cognoscenti may not know this, but Henry Moso, arguably Orlando's most creative sushi chef, and certainly one of our best, offers omakase experiences at his perpetually hopping sushi hot spot Kabooki Sushi.

And they're nothing short of sugoi! The omakases run anywhere from $150 to $250 and require a three-day advance notice.

We recently got a chance to experience one of Moso's multicourse free-for-alls, and here's evidentiary proof of the 17-course affair:
