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.

Nobu Sashimi Salad with Matsuhisa Dressing

For Salad:

Sashimi Salad Matsuhisa Dressing

7 pieces of rare grilled tuna sashimi salad sprinkled with black pepper on a 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.
