Morimoto was born in Hiroshima, where he received practical training in sushi and traditional Kaiseki cuisine; he opened his own restaurant in that city in 1980. Influenced by Western cooking styles, he decided to sell his restaurant in 1985 to travel around the United States. His travels further influenced his fusion style of cuisine. He established himself in New York City and worked in some of Manhattan’s restaurants, including the dining area for Sony Corporation’s executive staff and visiting VIPs, the Sony Club, where he was executive chef, and at the exclusive Japanese restaurant Nobu, where he was head chef.
