 Nobu’s dining empire spans from L.A. to New York, London and Milan, but only this stylish eatery tucked into the back of the Malibu Country Mart offers whispering sea breezes and Malibu celebrity sightings along with its premium sushi. Celebrated owner Nobu Matsuhisa was born in Saitama, Japan but relocated to Lima, Peru as a young sushi chef---a move that would have a profound impact on his career and life. Eventually, he worked his way to L.A., subsequently opening his flagship restaurant, Matsuhisa, in Beverly Hills. His practice of boldly infusing traditional Japanese cuisine with those spicy ingredients he became familiar with in South America greatly contributed to his now-formidable reputation. To experience the essence of his cuisine, order an elaborate multi-coursed omakase menu designed just for you---a parade of eye-popping and mind-blowing dishes, both cooked and raw (be mindful, however, as it's easy to run up a steep tab). The repertoire is endless, but good choices include broiled black cod with miso, rock shrimp tempura with ponzu sauce, new-style sashimi, a broth perfumed with aromatic matsutake mushrooms, seared toro, and sizzling Kobe beef. You might also enjoy designing your own tempura selections---ordered by the piece along with the acclaimed sushi. On a warm night, choose the outdoor patio under the stars with a view into the Malibu hills.
