Nobu

Famed fare from the land of the rising sun with a WA bent.

One of the remarkable feats of any Nobu experience (there’s over 50 worldwide) is that Nobuyuki Matsuhisa has managed to replicate his famous Japanese-Peruvian formula so faithfully. Set amongst the landscape of Crown Perth’s upscale culinary stars – Rockpool Bar & Grill, Bistro Guillaume et al – it’s the infusion of our coastal produce that shifts the menu from franchise to destination. There’s signature stars like blackened miso cod and yellowtail jalapeno that’s bright with yuzu-ponzu sauce. But also take advantage of Nobu’s declared love for West Australian marron in buttery shichimi – a seven-spice blend of orange peel, seaweed and chilli. Sake devotees will find joy in the selection created exclusively for Nobu in the cold reaches of Sado Island, the crystalline drops of each brew providing a different counterpart to the complex umami-laden creations. The Perth iteration is no exception to the Nobu rule; it’s an adherence to a wider vision that has made the name synonymous with global dining.
