A Japanese twist to classic Chinese flavours, Nobu’s Lunar Fortune offerings feature quintessential Japanese ingredients such as matcha, miso, hojicha and wasabi, which are set within a traditional, Shanghai or snow skin mooncake. Nobu replaces the typical salted egg yolk with distinctive wasabi and miso fillings, adding a creative flavour profile to what mooncake-lovers are usually accustomed to.
