Nobu Kuala Lumpur is set to elevate the city’s dining landscape this May with the introduction of a Special Omakase curated by Chef Hervé Courtot. This exclusive menu, running from 1st May to 31st May 2026, offers a sophisticated exploration of seasonal ingredients prepared with the precision and balance that define the Nobu philosophy. Adding to the prestige of the event, Chef Hervé will be present in person at the Kuala Lumpur outpost from 2nd to 5th May, providing diners with a rare opportunity to witness his world-class craftsmanship firsthand.
The journey begins with a series of starters designed to awaken the palate through clean, vibrant flavors. Guests are first introduced to a duo of Oyster and Scallop bathed in Yuzu Soy, followed by a luxurious Botan Ebi Carpaccio topped with Caviar. This refined progression continues with a selection of Nobu Style Sushi, showcasing the brand’s hallmark dedication to simplicity and the natural integrity of premium seafood. Each course reflects the seamless marriage of Japanese technique and Peruvian influence that has made Nobu a global culinary icon.
As the omakase transitions into its main courses, the flavor profile deepens and becomes more complex. The menu features a striking King Crab dish accented by Strawberry Amazu Ponzu and Yuzu Kosho Salsa, a combination that balances bright acidity with a subtle, lingering heat. This is followed by a Smoked Halibut accompanied by a Black Pepper Chili Garlic Sauce, offering a gentle smokiness and a savory depth. For the final savory act, Chef Hervé presents a Grilled Beef Tenderloin paired with Cauliflower and Portobello, a composed and satisfying dish that emphasizes earthy textures and rich, balanced flavors.
The immersive experience concludes on a refreshing note with a dessert of Chocolate Ichigo and Yuzu, which artfully balances decadent sweetness with bright citrus highlights. Priced at RM1,200++ per person, this limited-time menu is an invitation for gourmands to indulge in a thoughtfully paced and understatedly elegant dining experience. It stands as a testament to Nobu Kuala Lumpur’s ongoing commitment to delivering refined culinary moments that celebrate the very best of global gastronomy.
