NOBU, CHILLED

Nobu Hotels are rooted in creating memories around the enjoyment of exceptional food and for over 25 years, pioneering Chef Nobu Matsuhisa has delighted countless palettes with his New-Style Japanese cuisine. Influenced by his years of studying in Tokyo and his extensive travels, his diverse celebration of flavours formed Nobu’s trademark ‘Nobu Style’ which is intrinsic to all Nobu menus worldwide.

The Nobu dining experience is at the heart of their hotels and Nobu Hotel London Portman Square has recently honoured its Japanese roots by launching Chilled Sundays - a new sushisharing dining concept designed with friends and families in mind. Accompanied by backdrop beats from live vinyl DJ sets every Sunday from 12.30pm to 5pm, the curated selection of vinyls includes a collection chosen by Nobu Hotels’ founders - Robert De Niro, Nobu Matsuhisa and Meir Teper and are usually only found in the hotel’s two-bedroom penthouse.
