Nobu Manila Celebrates Nobu Global’s 30th Anniversary: Savor Past, Present, & Future

Nobu Manila, one of the 57 global locations of the world-renowned Nobu Restaurant, joins in celebrating Nobu’s 30th anniversary. This milestone honors Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s innovative culinary journey, combining Japanese cuisine with Peruvian influences, and showcases his visionary approach to dining.

Each featured dish, from new creations to signature classics, reflects Chef Nobu’s personal story—from the early days of the Nobu brand to its future vision. Known for his philosophy of “kokoro,” meaning “from the heart,” the anniversary menu embodies Nobu’s principles of humility, gratitude, and hospitality.

Omakase Tasting Menu

In celebration, Nobu presents a special five-course omakase dinner menu, available globally from October 7 to 13, highlighting 30 years of culinary mastery. Priced at P8,871.43 net per person, the tasting menu begins with a four-way starter: Toro Tartar, Salmon Tataki in Karashi Su Miso, White Fish Tiradito, and Yellowtail Jalapeño. This is followed by a selection of sushi: Tuna Nigiri, White Fish with Maldon Salt and Lemon, Scallops with Dry Miso, and a Nori Taco with Caviar. Guests can then enjoy Black Cod Butter Lettuce and Crab Amazu Ponzu, followed by Japanese Beef Anticucho with hijiki seaweed, grilled tomato, and oshinko. The meal concludes with a dessert trio of strawberry cheesecake, milk chocolate and sesame cream, and mochido.

The exclusive menu offers a taste of Nobu’s signature dressings and sauces, defining the restaurant’s New Style cuisine. Diners can enjoy this special meal in the stunning indoor space, which features two private dining rooms and five outdoor floating cabanas surrounded by water features and lush gardens, perfect for an alfresco dining experience.
