Beat the Winter Chill With Chef Nobu’s Ramen at Nobu Caesars Palace

Besides its extraordinary taste and multitude of flavors, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa firmly believes that Ramen is the one great dish that can soothe the soul and warm up the insides. Considered the ultimate comfort food and available at Nobu Caesars Palace Restaurant and Lounge, Chef Nobu’s interpretation of Ramen is unmatched and is certain to revitalize the soul. So much that the New Man Ramen is named by Chef Nobu himself:

“If you’re not feeling very well, and you eat my ramen, I’m certain that it will make you feel like a new man the next day,” says Chef Nobu.

To create this comforting and popular concoction, Nobu uses traditional Ramen noodles. The broth is cooked with a combination of chicken and pork for more than 24 hours and is finished with a miso tare base. The New Man Ramen is accompanied with menma (bamboo shoots), bean sprouts, corn, and a traditional Japanese soft boiled egg. To top it off, the soothing ramen includes pork belly that is prepared in a three step process; it’s cured, braised and then pressed so when it’s sliced, each delicious piece is the same size. Finished with cilantro, Serrano peppers, and chili threads, the New Man Ramen is also served with sesame seeds, dry miso, and fried garlic chips in Ryu (chili oil).

“I really love Nobu’s fusion of both chicken and pork broths. Sometimes when using 100% pork broth (traditional tonkotsu), the flavor can get very overpowering, but the combination used in the Nobu ramen keeps it rich tasting and mellow,” said Steve Dolinsky, Food Reporter with ABC 7 News in Chicago. “I loved the tender pork and the texture of the noodles as well; they were simultaneously springy and toothsome without being too chewy. It’s a great little bowl that packs a wallop of flavor.”

Available on the world’s only Nobu in-room dining menu, guests staying at the first-ever Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace Las Vegas can enjoy the New Man Ramen inside the comfort of their perfectly-appointed hotel room. The New Man Ramen is also available for lunch at the world’s largest Nobu Restaurant at Caesars Palace.
