The combination of Japanese cuisine with French wine is the perfect marriage Nobu Kuala Lumpur has whip up for March’s special offering.
Available from now till April, the Sake & Wine Pairing Omakase is a 7-course menu that features the finest wines and sake from Nobu’s collection that come with delectable Japanese-Peruvian dishes. Curated by Executive Chef Philip Leong and his team, take a look at the menu below:
1. Sashimi ‘Moriawase’

- Paired with Mumm Grand Cordon Brut Champagne.
2. Sushi Selection
- 3-piece premium sushi that consists of Chu-toro (medium fatty tuna belly), Tai (Japanese sea bream), and Uni (sea urchin).
