In honour of its 30th anniversary, Nobu Kuala Lumpur has introduced an exclusive omakase menu that, for a limited time only, takes diners on a culinary journey celebrating three decades of the iconic brand’s fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavours. Running globally from October 7 to 13, 2024, this omakase menu is a homage to Nobu’s signature dishes, balancing innovation with tradition.

 

30th Anniversary Menu

 

The menu, specially designed by Nobu’s founding chef, Nobu Matsuhisa, reflects the restaurant’s blend of Japanese and Peruvian influences. Dishes like Toro Tartare with Caviar and Yellowtail Jalapeño are as beloved as they are delicious, offering a taste of Nobu’s early creations. Chef Nobu himself remarked, “Many of these dishes are based on some of my earliest creations, so they are very close to my heart.”

Trio of Desserts

 

For us, the immediate highlight of the omakase was the Yontenmori, a plate featuring four beloved Nobu classics: Toro Tartare with Caviar, Yellowtail Jalapeño, Salmon Tataki with Karashi Sumiso, and Seabass Tiradito. Each dish showcases the precision and artistry that has made Nobu a leader in contemporary dining. We also enjoyed the Nori Taco with Caviar, a modern twist on the fusion of textures and flavours, which really captures the innovative spirit of not only this menu, but Nobu overall.
