From RokuTV and the great Iron Chef Morimoto comes a new, sushi specific cooking competition. A sucker for food related shows, and with a huge love for Morimoto himself I quickly started this series soon after I saw it advertised. All in all, I was fairly impressed. A big fan of sushi myself, the food alone kept me interested, but I definitely stayed for Morimoto's charm. Not in the series near as much as I would have liked / hoped, whenever Morimoto is around its a blast. He's so charming and goofy, while remaining so critical and brutally honest. Its clear how skilled a master at his craft he is and its quite refreshing hearing his insights to the contestants, as well has how much he just wants to see them succeed. He's joined by two guest judges, Kenji Lopez-Alt and Dakota Weiss, both of who I liked, and hosted by Lyrica Okano, who is no Alton Brown but suits fine. Again I really just wanted 10x as much Morimoto himself than what we got. The show progresses as a fairly typical food competition show, there's some secret ingredients, rewards that let you manipulate other players, and of course the standard once per episode elimination until there's crowned a sushi master. The contestants themselves are also quite good, there's even a villain + redemption arc, which I always love in my reality tv. All-in-all if you're looking for a food show and love sushi, would definitely recommend.
