Nobori Japanese Restaurant

Reviews:

New fusion Japanese restaurant in Toorak.

Firstly the aesthetics of the place is nice, a high class Japanese restaurant atmosphere.

Staff were very good, customer service was all thumbs up.

Down to entrees, a wide variety to choose from. If you're not mindful of the prices then I'd try the lot.

Sushimi platter was amazing (please see picture) you'd be fighting others for the last piece. Personally I don't eat much oysters but this was an oyster from a different level.

For mains I had the fish and I'll be honest I did have foodies remorse because my friend got the wagu beef, which was tickling my taste buds for the rest of the night.

All in all a wonder new place, I recommend getting the wagu for main.

We were lucky to be invited to Nobori Japanese Restaurant in Toorak for its restaurant opening.

We were excited to begin our seven course meal of authentic Japanese cuisine.

The restaurant decor was beautiful and well lit as was the entrance as you walk in. The wait staff were very welcoming and always made sure we had something to drink.

Our 7 course meal commenced with three small bowls of seafood. The Scallops cream Otsukuri was our personal favourite with it melting in your mouth.

The seafood soup was absolutely beautiful.

 I was delighted to be invited to the grand opening of Noburi on Thursday as Japanese is one of my favourite cuisines. Straight off the bat we were wowed by a luxe entrance complete with a water feature, a giant decorative hanging kimono and an array of gorgeous scented bouquets no doubt celebratory opening flowers. It was just as beautiful inside with a stunning marble bar and table tops and a cute little balcony area with lots of bonsai.
We started with a round of cocktails which were surprisingly quite reasonably priced. I actually favoured the Eastsider which was very refreshing even though I though I would most enjoy the lychee ginger martini. The martini was sweet but also had a good kick of alcohol to it. Nice and fruity. The meal began with a trio of entrees. The scallop was undeniably my fave, cooked perfectly, with a great creamy textural element on top and I adored the flavoursome sauce.

Lovely new Japanese Restaurant in Toorak. Started with the cocktails which were well made and on point. Some absolutely traditional dishes with the traditional raw meats and tempura paired with the right sauces worked a treat. Sake paired with the dishes worked well. Warm custard was was interesting. Soups paired with some great pallete cleansers. The matcha dessert was the ideal way to end the night.

We were lucky enough to get invited to the restaurant launch event at Nobori, a newly opened Japanese restaurant just behind the shops in Toorak village. Subtle signage led us to an intricately decorated entrance way that was like walking through a temple garden entrance. The interiors to the restaurant were spot on. Sleek wood finishes and textured lighting and an open pass so you could see all the action. The bar was also impressive. Easy listening music played quite loudly throughout the venue. Kelisi hit the nail on the head when she commented this it was like listening to Kenny G.

The opening event consisted of 7 course sample menu and there was a variety of items to explore with many dishes which I hadn't sampled before. It started with a trio of appetisers which included Salmon roe, Wasabi octopus and a Scallop cream Otsukur dish. For me the standout here was a scallop which had a hugely impactful sauce. I also loved the salmon roe. I love that pop.
