It’s seven weeks before the arrival of our little bundle of joy so my wife decided that it’s time for a little cheat meal at the latest restaurant in town, NOBU at Four Seasons Singapore.

We start the night with a rich and bold AKASHI UME SOUR specialty cocktail comprising of  Akashi Plum Whisky, Umepon Plum Liqueur, Lemon, Ume, Honey, Egg White, and Angostura Bitters. It is light and refreshing, a great appetizer drink before starters.

TORO TARTARE with Caviar: An umami rich dish that tasted great and could be improved slightly by adjusting its salt level. 

SASHIMI PLATTER including Chu-Toro, O-Toro, Sea Perch, Amberjack, and Japanese Freshwater Eel: A fine selection of fresh cuts with Chu-Toro and O-Toro standing tall above the rest in terms of flavor and quality.

WHITEFISH TIRADITO: Our least favorite of the night with a flavor combination that did not fully agree with our palates.

BABY SPINACH SALAD with Dry Miso: A salad with a strong cheesy aftertaste which complemented the creamy baby spinach.

Second cocktail of the night is the NOBU SOJU DRAGON specialty cocktail featuring Nobu Soju, Dragon Fruit, St. Germain, Monk Fruit, and Lemon. The pairing of the dragon fruit and soju is an fun combination worthy of further experimentation.

SEA URCHIN with Shiso: Combining tempura and sea urchin into the ultimate culinary sin for fresh Uni lovers.

YELLOWTAIL AND JALAPEÑO and SOFTSHELL CRAB ROLL: An interesting combo of maki with flavors and textures that played off each other quite well.

WAGYU DUMPLINGS with Spicy Ponzu: Juicy wagyu in chewy dumpling skin, flavorful at every bite.

MISO BLACK COD: Black cod served just the way I liked, and best paired with a warm bowl of rice.

And to end the night: CHEESECAKE with Raspberry Wasabi Sorbet and WHISKY CAPPUCCINO featuring Coffee Crème Brulée, Coffee Crumble, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Whisky/Vanilla Foam.

Overall, NOBU at Four Seasons Singapore is a culinary experience best reserved for special occasions with loved ones. A big thank you to the attentive care of the service team during our visit!
