01 Aug Nobu – Apertivo Fridays, Southbank
Corn Ball; Miso Black Cod
White Fish Maki, Kingfish Sashimi, Sweet and Sour Squid and Vegetables
We came to try out Apertivo Fridays, which takes place every Friday from 5-7pm. After ordering a drink from the menu, a variety of ‘tapas’ are served while you enjoy your drink (hopefully with some company). Today’s offerings were white fish maki, kingfish sashimi, sweet and sour squid and vegetables, corn balls and miso black cod. Unsurprisingly, the black cod was the highlight of the five dishes being soft and wonderfully flavoured.
Hokusetsu Junmai
White Tsurai – TK40 Hokusetsu Sake, lychee, cranberry, a splash of chilli and Pimms ($22)
As my first experience of drinking sake, the Hokusetsu Junmai was quite good and I enjoyed it better than beer. The cocktail ordered tonight was the White Tsurai, consisting of TK40 Hokusetsu Sake, lychee, cranberry, a splash of chilli and Pimms. Most of what I tasted was the lychee, but it was refreshing nonetheless.

Posted at 22:30h, 11 OctoberApertivo Fridays at Nobu sounds exciting! I was just wondering, the amount of food you’ve displayed in the pictures is that just for yourself? That seems like a lot of food for just tapas! Also, are you allowed to go back for more tapas? They look so delicious! Or is it like a certain number of pieces accompanies one drink so the more you order the more you get? Thanks, I’m super keen to go one Friday night and try this out!

Posted at 23:19h, 12 OctoberHi Karen! I went in a group of three so it was pretty much one piece each, apart from the maki. I believe you get another round of tapas if you order another drink. Hope you enjoy it!
