Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto has opened his newest restaurant, OEN Omakase by Morimoto, in Montclair, New Jersey. This unusual opening is seen as a departure from a routine celebrity-chef expansion, given the contrast between a glamorous address in Manhattan, Las Vegas, Tokyo, or a polished hotel dining room in a city built for expense accounts. The restaurant, which serves a 12-seat omakase experience, opened as a smaller, more intimate, controlled, and more refined concept, priced at $300 per person. The difference between the restaurant and the larger, larger, more upscale version of the restaurant is described as a "tiny Omakas Room" not a "giant Flagship Spectacle."
