Ultra-fashionable NOBU Beijing is romancing sweethearts with an 8-course feast of celebrity chef and NOBU founder Nobuyuki Matsuhisa’s signature specialties for Chinese Valentine’s Day on 13 August 2013.

The celebratory menu for couples is priced RMB 1,288 per person at one of the capital’s trendiest restaurants, located at the JW Marriott Hotel.

Couples are welcomed with a traditional aphrodisiac appetizer of Oysters 2 Ways.

The extravaganza showcasing Nobuyuki Matsuhisa’s trademark Peruvian-Japanese inspired cuisine continues with delicate ‘Suzuki’ sea bass carpaccio with yuzu dressing and ‘Toro’ tuna tataki & ‘Kuruma ebi’ Japanese tiger prawn sashimi salad with an aromatic and light coriander sauce.

Three more elegant seafood specialties tantalize taste buds – Baked scallop with shiso butter, Seared salmon with wakame karashisu miso, and King crab harumaki.

The featured main course is succulent grilled Wagyu beef steak, balanced with a refreshing, spicy apple wasabi salsa. The unique celebration is completed with a ‘chef selection’ of fresh sushi and shrimp & seasonal mushroom soup, followed with a ‘Sweet Valentine’ surprise for dessert. Each guest who orders this exclusive set menu will also receive a complimentary Chinese Valentine’s Day cocktail.

NOBU Beijing has also refreshed its popular weekend Omakase ‘Chef’s Special’ menu, served every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Priced at RMB 380, this 4-course set menu starts with a choice of three appetisers, including spicy tuna tataki, yellowtail sashimi with dried miso, ‘new style’ salmon sashimi, scallop tiradito, seafood ceviche, beef tacos, rock shrimp tempura with butter ponzu sauce, pork belly on butter lettuce and Peruvian-style chicken anticucho, followed by salad, main course and dessert.
