Nobu will launch Nobu Melbourne’s Friday night Apertivo at a private event. Following the launch, the evenings will occur regularly offering guests the chance to enjoy relaxed evening drinks accompanied by complimentary Apertivo such as Nobu’s famous black cod (New York-style), baby beef gyoza with goma ponzu and crispy oysters with creamy wasabi mayonnaise. To celebrate the launch of Apertivo, Nobu’s expert bartenders have created a signature cocktail list featuring such tempting and refreshing libations as the Plum Berry Sour made with Choya Plum wine, Grand Marnier, lemon juice, Cassis and a sour cherry garnish. Apertivo will occur every Friday night from 5pm- 7pm.
