Experience Festive Dining Luxury with Nobu Kuala Lumpur!
As the year draws to a close, the holidays are usually a time that brings us closer to loved ones, with celebrations centred around delicious food. It is no different this year, as Nobu KL invites guests to gather around their renowned tables this holiday season for the launch of an exclusive Festive Omakase! Available from 20 December to 30 December, this limited-time menu encapsulates the essence of the season, offering a vibrant and harmonious blend of flavours emanating from Nobu’s innovative cuisine.
Chef Philip Leong, Executive Chef at Nobu Kuala Lumpur, shared his enthusiasm for the season and the new menu: “This time of year always brings excitement as we prepare to welcome guests with a menu that is as merry as it is unique. The dishes reflect our team’s hard work, dedication, and creativity, and it’s been an incredible journey to craft something that truly celebrates the spirit of Nobu during the end-year season.”
Guests can look forward to an enticing array of carefully curated dishes within this 7-course omakase experience, beginning with the Kinmedai Calamansi Honey course. This delicately balanced starter shines with the star ingredient, kinmedai (golden eye snapper), a prized Japanese fish known for its rich, buttery flavour and tender flesh. Paired with a vibrant citrusy calamansi honey dressing that cuts through the fish’s natural oiliness, bottarga – cured fish roe – is then delicately shaved over the kinmedai, before being elevated with a touch of Nobu’s signature dry miso, bringing together a true symphony of flavours in each bite.

Next, the Langoustine Sobagaki combines luxury with earthy depth, infused within a warm bed of sobagaki, a smooth Japanese buckwheat dough, creating a delicate richness. A dollop of caviar adds a refined saltiness, while the crispy nori shitake senbei provides a satisfying crunch, adding layers of umami that enhance the langoustine’s oceanic essence.
For the bold centrepiece, the Wagyu Figs Teriyaki is a gastronomical experience to behold in itself. Succulent A5 wagyu is seared to perfection, before being paired with a divine teriyaki reduction infused with figs, creating a balance of caramelised richness and fruity undertones. A burnt cauliflower purée then grounds the dish with its smoky, earthy notes, offering a textural contrast to the tender wagyu and accentuating its overall warmth and decadence.
To end the meal, Cherry White is an indulgent dessert that makes a dramatic entrance with a cloche that releases a swirl of smoke upon unveiling, heightening anticipation. The cherry compote brings a bold tartness, while a silky white chocolate mousse adds creamy sweetness, leaving a lingering treat to the palate upon the conclusion of the culinary experience.
For a limited time only, the Festive Omakase is an invitation to savour the best of Nobu KL’s innovative approach to fine dining; a true celebration of flavours, artistry, and the joy of togetherness.
In an effort to support the local community, Nobu KL will also be conducting an initiative with Yayasan Chow Kit, where an exclusive Sushi Workshop and Green Tea Making activity will be carried out in December. To top it off, throughout December, 100% of proceeds from Nobu KL’s Green Tea sales will be donated to Yayasan Chow Kit, extending the warmth of the end-year festivities to those in need too.
So, what more could you ask for? Allow Nobu KL to be the highlight of your year-end celebrations where every bite of sushi, or sip of green tea, brings you closer to the essence of the season.
