Hidden Gem for meat lovers
Nobu-style Beef Toban Yaki is a meticulously crafted dish that captures the essence of Chef Nobu San's cuisine. Here, succulent slices of premium beef are marinated in a unique blend of traditional Japanese and Peruvian flavors. They are then expertly grilled on a ceramic 'toban' plate, imbuing the meat with a subtle smoky nuance. The result is a harmonious blend of umami-rich taste, tender texture, and aromatic appeal, served sizzling hot in true Nobu style.
Secrets from the Kitchen
If you are dining at Nobu for the first time, the chef recommends trying 3 or more of the menu's "Eight Highlights." The best way to enjoy this experience is to start with 2 or 3 cold dishes; then move on to 2 or 3 hot ones. Finally, end with some sushi and dessert. All these shared family style.
Here are some of the recommendations:
As a palate opener:
Yellowtail Jalapeno
Delicately sliced yellowtail sashimi with touches of garlic puree, adorned with jalapeno slices then crowned with cilantro and served with Japanese citrus soy sauce; 6 pieces in one order. The cilantro elevates every bite, enhancing the flavor.
For Salad:
Sashimi Salad Matsuhisa Dressing
7 pieces of rare grilled tuna sashimi salad sprinkled with black pepper on a bed of field greens and served with Nobu Matsuhisa signature onion soy dressing.
For Hot Dishes:
Rock Shrimp Tempura Creamy Spicy
Handful of battered shrimp "Tempura-ed" tossed with creamy spicy sauce, flavored with yuzu juice and pieces of shiitake mushrooms, served over a bed of greens drizzled with yuzu dressing. Best enjoyed together with the greens.
Black Cod Miso
Filet of black cod marinated in Den miso sauce for a few days then baked in oven and finished with a salamander broil.
