La Cucina – Nobuya

The Cuisine

Nobuya is a place where technique, balance, and raw ingredients coexist in harmony.
Chef Niimori Nobuya's cuisine stems from a deep respect for Japanese tradition and a passion for Italian excellence. It is a continuous dialogue between rigour and sensibility, precision and instinct.
Every dish is a pursuit of purity, an encounter between two cultures in perfect synergy.

Research
and Harmony

Every creation is conceived as a sensory narrative.
Nobuya’s cuisine does not seek effect, but essence: the temperature, the texture, the rhythm of the service — every element is precisely calibrated to restore balance and serenity.

Harmony is the invisible rule that guides every action of the Chef and his team.

Attention
to Detail

Nobuya’s cuisine unites two gastronomic legacies: Japanese discipline, built on technique and subtraction, and the Italian passion for raw ingredients.

The result is a new form of expression, where the excellence of the products meets the delicacy of Japanese philosophy, creating a common language of flavours and actions.

The Ingredient
Selection

Only the highest quality raw ingredients are welcomed into Chef Niimori Nobuya's kitchen.
The freshest fish, prized meats, seasonal vegetables, and carefully selected international products form a refined palette.

Each ingredient is treated with respect and precision, enhancing its original flavours, colours, and textures.

The Balance
of Matter

The menu changes according to market availability, as the Chef seeks the best expression of the ingredient every day.

Seasonality becomes a principle of both aesthetics and ethics: only what is at its perfect moment can enter the dish.

This is how a cuisine that is vibrant, authentic, and in continuous dialogue with nature is born.

The Art of
Fish Aging

Central to Nobuya’s research is the dry-aging of fish, a refinement practice that Chef Niimori applies with mastery.

Through a precise control of time, temperature, and humidity, the fish meat slowly matures, developing aromatic depth and new textures.

This is more than just a technique; it is a philosophy: to reveal the essence of flavour, imparting harmony to the palate and the mind.

The Cellar

Nobuya’s cellar reflects the same attention to detail as the cuisine.

A broad and refined selection of Italian and French wines, with particular emphasis on Burgundy labels, accompanies the gastronomic experience, enhancing every dish with thoughtful and harmonious pairings.

Complementing the wines, a collection of prized sakes, sourced from various regions across Japan, completes a sensory journey of rare elegance. These sakes are selected for their balance, finesse, and distinct personality.

Every bottle is selected with attention to its terroir, history, and tradition, thereby narrating a journey through diverse cultures and aromas, where taste becomes experience, discovery, and refined pleasure.
