Today, Roku announced plans to renew “Morimoto’s Sushi Master,” the first-ever competition series focused on the art of sushi-making, for a second season on The Roku Channel. Produced by AMPLE Entertainment and featuring world-renowned culinary icon Chef Masaharu Morimoto as head judge and executive producer, “Morimoto’s Sushi Master” puts chefs to the test as they compete in challenges that not only honor the skill, ingredients, delicacy, and talent needed to perfect the art of sushi-making, but also break the rules along the way. Debuting on The Roku Channel in June 2023, season one of the series was the #1 on-demand title on the service during its opening week.

“I am honored and excited to be a part of ‘Morimoto’s Sushi Master‘ for another season,” said Chef Masaharu Morimoto. “The show not only celebrates the artistry of sushi, but also creativity and innovation. I look forward to seeing what the talented chefs bring to the sushi table this time around.”
