Nobu fans need not travel far, they simply need to visit Nobu restaurant at City of Dreams Manila in order to indulge in Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s world-renowned signature cuisine.
Available year-round are the iconic classic dishes that have catapulted Chef Nobu and his eponymous chain of restaurants to global fame: Black Cod Miso, which is Alaskan black cod marinated in sweet miso sauce and topped with hakijami (pickled ginger shoot); Yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño, served with the right amount of spice topped with a citrusy yuzu ponzu sauce; and the Rock Shrimp Creamy Spicy, for tempura lovers looking for an unconventional twist with mayonnaise-tossed rock shrimp, a splash of yuzu juice, and tobanjan (chili bean sauce).
These and other signature dishes depicting the renowned Nobu-style cuisine are served in all 32 Nobu restaurants across five continents around the world. The eminent chef, who was awarded by GQ UK early this year with the Lifetime Achievement Award, defines his cuisine as fundamentally based on Japanese cooking but with North and South American influences. In one of his cookbooks, Chef Nobu wrote: “Nobu-style cuisine is all about bringing out the best in the freshest seafood and drawing out the natural sweetness and textures of vegetables.’ He adds, “I always put something special in my food – my heart, or kokoro, as we say in Japanese.”
