Masaharu Morimoto is most famously known for being an Iron Chef, but there is another side of him we don't get to see too often. In addition to his life on TV, Chef Morimoto is a successful restaurateur who has worked long and hard to build a team that can create great food at each of his restaurants. We spend time with Morimoto at two of his restaurants, Morimoto in Chelsea and Momosan Ramen & Sake in Midtown.
Morimoto had two dreams when he was a child, to become a sushi chef or a professional baseball player. After sustaining an injury he dedicated his life to sushi and since then has applied himself to the art and practice of sushi every day. As Morimoto says, “I don’t want to be a celebrity or a celebrity chef. I want to be known as a legitimate chef.”

I remember watching Iron Chef as like, a 15 year old...and thinking man, that Morimoto. He is different than the others. His aura, his being, his personality.... awesome guy. VERY glad to see that over a decade later dude is successful as hell. Also...great work Vice. I would LOVE to see an entire series based around Morimoto.

The short story about the customer asking for ketchup, really opened my eyes to how much more one can learn. Even as a chef with years of experience under his belt, morimoto never once kept a closed mind. This is why people think of him as the forerunner for modern Japanese cuisine. Mad respect for the guy.

Jared Allen He was always hip compared to the other Iron Chefs; more appealing to Americans. I think they realized how much the show was gaining popularity here, and they needed someone we could relate to. I remember one episode he put Coca-Cola in a traditional Japanese dish, and the old school chefs got so offended.

+Kevin Li he seems to act in a clownish way in an attempt to keep himself away from his father's behavior who he described as a violent drunk. He abstains from alcohol and actively tries to dissolve conflict through humor. It was just an initial observation and I could be completely wrong it was just how he came off to me.

+Crefftwr It also might have a lot to do with modern Japanese culture. Cute or clownish behavior in Japanese culture influenced their whole generation the same way that slapstick comedy influenced our parents' generation. It's even evolved with their current culture, giving rise to things we would perceive as weird (coffee houses with in-house cats for petting, where Japanese businessmen come to relax after a day's work), the same way that the 3 Stooges evolved from Moe pushing a pie into Curly's face to the Jackass movies of our generation, where we watch Steve-o stick a fishing hook through his ass to go shark fishing.

I was at Morimoto's restaurant in Orlando a few years ago with my wife and kids, and the Chef himself was there for the soft opening. I expected him to smile and shake hands the whole time, but instead he spent 99% of the day behind the sushi bar, creating delights for his customers. The best sushi I've ever had, hands down. I guess we all need to take a trip to Jiro's spot in Japan to make a comparison.

for a guy with so much success It's amazing how humble Morimoto is ... That Ketchup story was amazing ... how many pompous chefs would have had the guy thrown out of their restaurants for something like (**cough** Marco Pierre White) ... No matter how crass and out of place the customers request might have been it makes Morimoto that much more of a class act that he didn't flip his shit

had the pleasure of meeting him at his restaurant in Philly. He doesn't speak much english, but you could tell he was a really genuine, enthusiastic guy. Much respect

Thought his story about the customer asking for ketchup at 8:50 was pretty interesting. He really seems like a cool guy; I would imagine another sushi chef would outright reject a request for ketchup and probably have laughed it off

Thanks Munchies, This man is a hero of mine and it's a shame to see him age over the years but it was a nice treat to learn about his life.

He is much more than a sushi chef. He is a beast in the kitchen

I absolutely love Morimoto-san. I was awestruck to meet the man a little over a decade ago. He exudes an aura around him while still being approachable and the epitome of class. I hope to meet him again once more before I die. The man will always be "Kitchen Jesus" to me

Morimotos back story is like a Japanese version of Gordon Ramsey's!
