Masaharu Morimoto is one of the Iron Chefs on Food Network's "Iron Chef America."

Born in Hiroshima, Japan, Iron Chef Japanese Masaharu Morimoto trained in a sushi restaurant before moving to the U.S. in 1985 at the age of 30. After working in several restaurants, Masaharu Morimoto joined the highly acclaimed Nobu restaurant in New York City.

Masaharu Morimoto polished his craft in New York's melting pot and became a state-of-the-art world chef. Masaharu Morimoto's cutting-edge cuisine attracted the attention of "Iron Chef" producers, who invited him to become a Japanese Iron Chef. Masaharu Morimoto's skill, which outshines the trademark diamond stud in his left ear, has been recognized all around the world. While Masaharu Morimoto's cooking has Japanese roots, it's actually "global cooking" for the 21st century. Masaharu Morimoto's unique fusion cuisine takes advantage of Japanese color combinations and aromas and uses Chinese spices and simple Italian ingredients, while maintaining a refined French style of presentation.

"Cooking is entertainment," proclaims the revolutionary. Masaharu Morimoto's attitude is evident in his dishes, which retain a sense of fun and a bit of spice.

Masaharu Morimoto opened his own restaurant, Morimoto, in Philadelphia in 2002 and a second one in New York City in 2006.
