Four Seasons Hotel to House Nobu’s First Restaurant in Singapore

(14 Mar 2022, 12:03 +07)  Nobu Matsuhisa, a celebrity chef and restaurateur known for marrying traditional Japanese cooking with Peruvian flavours, will open his first restaurant in Singapore in May.

Located at the Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, Nobu Singapore will feature its own entrance and be housed alongside an open-air Japanese garden and bar.

While his Singapore menu is still being finalised, Nobu’s signature dishes will feature his famed Black Cod Miso, Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño and world class sushi. Additionally, the menu will also offer special dishes inspired by local flavours and ingredients of Singapore.

“Singapore is an amazing culinary destination with an impressive food scene – so many flavours and cultures to experience in a single place,” said Nobu Matsuhisa. “Being one of my favourite cities with a sophisticated restaurant and bar landscape, I am very much looking forward to bringing Nobu to the gateway of Asia!”

Born in Saitama, Japan, Nobu spent his formative years studying Japanese cuisine at Matsuei, a respected sushi bar in Tokyo, before traversing across the Pacific Oceans to Lima, Peru to open his very own sushi bar.

As a classically trained sushi chef, he was challenged by the new culture and regional ingredients, which kindled his inventive style.

Part-owned by Nobu himself, Hollywood superstar Robert De Niro, film producer and entrepreneur Meir Teper and HPL Properties, Nobu Singapore will join a portfolio of approximately 51 Nobu hotels and / or restaurants around the world.

“This is exciting news for Singapore’s food and beverage scene. Local foodies have been known to book seats in advance of their travels New York, Malibu, London, Ibiza or Dubai to name but a few, just to experience Nobu’s unique cuisine. With this new addition of Nobu Singapore, we are excited to bring the vibrant Nobu dining experience to the doorstep of this gastronomic-hub that is Singapore,” said Peter Draminsky, Regional Vice President and General Manager, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore. “Curating and developing world-class dining destinations at our properties such as with Nobu Singapore is a key priority - experiences that bring people closer one plate, one glass, one unforgettable conversation at a time.”
