A Peek Inside Morimoto


"Hello Moto"


Every teacher has that one student—the one who learns, disappears, then comes back years later to take him on.

Nobuyuki Matsuhisa has just seen the return of his.

Masaharu Morimoto, who trained under Nobu as his executive chef, is back for the first time in almost a decade to open Morimoto.

Morimoto restaurant is developed by noted restaurateur Stephen Starr, this project consists of a high-quality tenant renovation of a restaurant on two levels in the Chelsea Market in New York City. Architecturally exposed concrete, a signature element of Tadao Ando's work, is dramatically visible in a series of concrete columns and floating stair. The space is further defined by a static "waterwall," a steel curtain holding nearly 20,000 illuminated bottles of water.
