Happy Birthday, Chef Masaharu Morimoto! May your day be filled with more excitement than a Kitchen Stadium showdown and fewer surprises than secret ingredients like eel ice cream. Your legendary knife skills and culinary creativity have inspired countless foodies worldwide—though we're still trying to master that sushi roll without it unraveling.

From Iron Chef battles to opening acclaimed restaurants around the globe, you've seasoned our lives with unforgettable flavors and endless entertainment. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater success—and perhaps fewer challengers brave enough to face your culinary genius. Cheers to another deliciously victorious trip around the sun!
