That hairline is proof positive he didn’t go to a plastic surgeon who’s skill level was on par with his chefin skills. It’s criminally bad insofar as it’s obvious artificiality.
What a humble master of the culinary arts. I wasn't intimidated to watch this, it felt like I was watching my uncle teach me something. What a great guy. I would love to learn more knife skills from him!
I travel a lot for work and I love watching the kitchen work Japan is always my favorite. I take time off and go to Hokkaido. The seafood restaurants at the docks are my favorite. you watch them bring in all the fish from the boat. And while they are cooking you here silence. You smell the oils, and sauces. Watching a kitchen work so efficiently without anyone breaking silence once, is the most beautiful, and peaceful experience anyone can have.
Jeez, what incredible skills the way he trims those fish perfectly with absolutely zero waste, and the way he unravels an entire vegetable in one piece like a scroll. Unbelievable. I'm pretty sure he gets knives made by some old-timey traditional Japanese smith like they were a set of Hanzo swords or something. Morimoto is like a samurai of sushi.
ah yes thank you! I just picked up a new Miyabi Gyuto Japanese chef knife and it is amazing! Razor sharp and fast comfort to prep food for meals@@adamjones2678
Morimoto has is probably the best I've ever seen with a knife. If I've ever seen someone better, ironically enough, it's his Iron Chef colleague, Hiroyuki Sakai.
Agreed. Morimoto and Hiroyuki Sakai are excellent. I also highly recommend watching chef Hiroyuki Terada and his knife work. Very precise and skilled as well. He has a TH-cam channel as well.
Note: On the Knife sharpening section Mr.Morimoto talks about grinding 1 side 8 times, the other twice. I believe that is because he is using a japanese single beveled blade.
As someone who is 34 and has about 21 years of knife skills: A good knife can allow you to work to your full potential but it can't make you any better. The *only* way to develop knife skills is by doing and doing again and again. Chefs can't even agree on technique, use what works best for you.
The ones he pulls from the covers/sheath look like nenox/nenohi knives which are around 900 bucks give or take. The ones he uses that have his name are probably custom.
@@BetweenTwoForks you'd be right, the yanagi he has is most likely cutsom by them as i can't find them no matter how hard i look, but their other yanagi seem to be around the $700-1000 range
I like when he says where can I buy your knife? answer the home shopping channel LOL and if your willing to tell a friend your not only going to get one knife but two...
What brand of Japanese knives does Iron Chef Morimoto use? He never mentions the brand. I do see a Nakiri and Kiritsuke. but not brand or model mentioned.
This video would be great if Morimoto was mic’d and the camera shots weren’t so far away. Hard to understand what’s going on when you can’t see or hear anything he’s doing.
I hope people don't follow this sharpening technique, he didn't go into detail how to sharpen each types of knives he has. Please don't learn this the hard way.
I have always been in such awe of this man!!! His skills are beyond amazing. I could watch him all day.
he is a legend and true master.
Can't help but notice how perfect his forehead lineup is
right?
I think he got hairplugs, if you see the earlyish episodes of iron chef his hairline is different
Well he is Morimoto..he does what he wants
The hair goes with the skills
That hairline is proof positive he didn’t go to a plastic surgeon who’s skill level was on par with his chefin skills. It’s criminally bad insofar as it’s obvious artificiality.

I grew up watching this guy on a the Iron chef. Massive respect to his skills and creativity.

For Japanese cuisine, he's my favorite chef. His cooking is amazing.

The knives he are using here are Miyabi which is Zwilling's Japnese knife division. They make great knives with incredible consistency!
ah yes thank you! I just picked up a new Miyabi Gyuto Japanese chef knife and it is amazing! Razor sharp and fast comfort to prep food for meals@@adamjones2678
I’m so relaxed watching him, love seeing such intense knowledge and skil
YASSS. Morimoto is a LEGEND. I am HERE for this content.

How this man has 10 fingers after all these years is a testament to his greatness
That's the most beautiful sashimi plate I've ever seen. Wow 😲
Note: On the Knife sharpening section Mr.Morimoto talks about grinding 1 side 8 times, the other twice. I believe that is because he is using a japanese single beveled blade.
It depends on your knife many Japanese double beveled knifes are sharpened on a 70/30 or 80/20 bias.
He's essentially touching up his edge. Not re profiling it. Could be because he's better at a motion on one side or just prefers it.
I dont think u sharp the other side of a single beveled lol
Indeed, apparently he was flat on the bevel one side (sort of scandi grind) and flat on the side the other.
@@f56esddstr you don’t go at an angle, but you’d run it over flat
he just gave y'all some game right there!!!
I love at the end "ill show you where I buy my knives next time" lol
The knife is a mere compliment to your extraordinary skill.
As a sushi chef of 2 years, this is ridiculous lol. One day hope to be this skilled!
It's tough, but keep at it. You'll get there. And I say that as someone with over a decade in food service.
true it takes years of hard work to become a master chef@@tiatrips
It’s so exciting to watch them
Greatest iron chef ever!
My favorite Iron Chef...
I have known many Japanese chefs in my life. None of them will tell me where to buy a knife. You'll have to figure that shit out on your own.
Simple.. internet
@@grantgrant8554 The internet doesn't help you convince an old Japanese knifemaker to make you a knife of your own.
@@ekko808 Sakai Jikko probably one of the best value high-end Japanese knives.
I was just watching iron chef old school show i’ve always admired him as a cool chef as a kid still till this day his skills are amazing 👀

yeh mate
A true master of knives!
My Favorite Iron Chef♥️♥️♥️
My favorite iron chef 😁
Interesting video, but he really could have used a mic.
Where can I buy those knives?: "I tell you next time ok"... RIP if anyone thought they could afford those knives.
This is the level I hope to reach one day!
Wow! He’s amazing.
Morimoto is the KNIFE NINJA!!
That platter is too beautiful too eat
Just beautiful.........💗
3:57 It's 'yanagiba' not 'yangagi'.
It’s both lol, I used to think the same but yanagi is shorter for yanagiba they still mean the same thing
@@jaydens2756 But they've written 'yangagi'.
sugureta ! I love you chef Morimoto
The since of the knife? Thanks
Video felt so rushed. Wanted to see more cutting action.
He's so freaking awesome and impressive
what brand of knives are those?
probably handcrafted from back in the days
The ones he pulls from the covers/sheath look like nenox/nenohi knives which are around 900 bucks give or take. The ones he uses that have his name are probably custom.
His hand movements are giving me anxiety LOL - Sick skills though proper
Lmfao, Chef where can I buy your knife? "I tell you next time ok?" 🤣
What brand is his Deba knife?
If I tried to sharpen a knife with that technique, I would have to mail it to Japan to save it.
Amazing.
Where next time chef morimoto we are waiting ,,😭😭😭
What brand knife???
you can buy many microphones with the price for one of those knives
morimoto said yeah I'm on tv but have you ever tried drawing on your knives with a sharpie???
This is just a learning technique. He doesn't do that normally. It's how I learned freehand sharpen to shaving sharp.
First time getting in a video so soon 😁
I'd like to know the MSRP on those high end knives he unwrapped! 😳
The ones he unwrapped looks like Nenohi/Nenox. I will let you Google the rest 😉
@@BetweenTwoForks you'd be right, the yanagi he has is most likely cutsom by them as i can't find them no matter how hard i look, but their other yanagi seem to be around the $700-1000 range
Beside the Nenox. What knifes are been used in this video? Like, the ones with black handle...
What cutting board and size is that?
Looks like a YOSHIHIRO HI-SOFT in XL to me
I like when he says where can I buy your knife? answer the home shopping channel LOL and if your willing to tell a friend your not only going to get one knife but two...
Is his line of knives from Miyabi? Expensive!!!
3:56 It's Yanagiba
this chef is miles ahead of the other dude who uses honey, chipotle and whole grain mustard on most of his dishes.
Master
What brand of Japanese knives does Iron Chef Morimoto use? He never mentions the brand. I do see a Nakiri and Kiritsuke. but not brand or model mentioned.
❤💓❣👍💕💗
I wish he was my teacher
The cheapest knife in his set is like $500.
It’ll be $320.95. Would you like a sake pairing for another $175.95? It looks awesome tho!
This video would be great if Morimoto was mic’d and the camera shots weren’t so far away. Hard to understand what’s going on when you can’t see or hear anything he’s doing.
🥰❤️
Knives he wins Iron Chef with are Nenox. Knives he is sponsored are Miyabi Pro. Which knives are better? Nenox, easy win.
lol lol lol Yes please tell next time. :)
Allez Cuisine!!!!
Just because you can buy a Ferrari doesn't make you Mario Andretti.
Gurunya chef juna 🤣
All his knives are traditional single bevel.
and where is next time?
That big as chip on that nenox
😞
I BOUGHT JAPANESE KNIVES AND SLICED MY FINGER CLEANING THEM........
Deep respect tp Morimoto san but if you don't know how to season your food, no amount of sharp knives will save you. Just how I feel.
Don’t do the thing he does placing his fiber near the edge Man, cuts are very very pinful
I hope people don't follow this sharpening technique, he didn't go into detail how to sharpen each types of knives he has. Please don't learn this the hard way.
Steven Seagal level hairline.
You can buy your knife in local Chinese grocery store for £15.
Don't buy his knives. Just buy Japanese knives from Japanese smiths, his knives are made by German company, go figure /shrug
Eat your heart out, Ramsey.
looks all cheap knives, i don't recommend to buy those .
This dude needs to invest in what we call in Murica a mic vs. the directional or omni? mic off the camera that they were using.
How about turning that radish into one big sheet
