Chef Masaharu Morimoto tests the skills of eight expert sushi chefs alongside fellow judge Chef Phillip Frankland Lee and host Lyrica Okano. Each week, the chefs will face challenges that test their fundamental sushi skills, creativity, and out-of-the-box thinking.
They’ll present artfully inspired creations, including exquisite sushi platters, bento boxes, an omakase service, and more, hoping to evade elimination. One chef will win a cash prize and the title of Morimoto’s Sushi Master.
