"It's hard to say what the guests should expect
other than one of the most amazing meals of
their life," says Bryan Shinohara, general
manager of Nobu in Caesars Palace, about the
teppanyaki Wagyu beef banquet. Chef Nobu
Matsuhisa, known for his "new-style" Japanese
cooking, has developed a cult following. And
with the beef banquet omakase, it's easy to see
why. This seven-course, all
–
Wagyu beef menu
puts the focus on the food while adding just the
right amount of f lair to create a prime dining
experience for luxury-hunters.
Located in the Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace,
this is Nobu's only US outpost to offer teppanyaki-
style Japanese cooking. Guests have the option
of dining at two communal teppan tables in the
luxurious main dining area or in the private
dining room. Reaching temperatures upwards
of 400 degrees, the teppan grill, with the levels of
heat varying throughout its f lat iron surface,
allows chefs to prepare everything from soup to
souff lé in front of diners.
