A HIDDEN SEAFOOD GEM

As pristine as the waters in which it is grown, Leeuwin

Coast’s akoya is a unique delicacy. This seafood treasure,

nestled inside a striking pearlescent shell, grows native to

Western Australia, but is cultivated and harvested through

innovative aquaculture techniques from Mistaken Island in

Albany. Akoya taste like a refreshing dip in the Southern

Ocean and can be enjoyed cooked, cured or simply raw.

“The akoya is new to Western Australia,” says Hori. “At

Nobu Perth, it’s shucked like a scallop and mixed with

di…erent sauces.”

FROM THE LAND

Western Australia boasts a wonderfully pristine landscape,

which makes it ideal for producing the finest quality beef.

At Nobu Perth, Rose Mallee Wagyu short rib is coated in

a rich Japanese barbecue sauce, cooked until meltingly

tender and served with sautéed onion and sweet corn,

before being topped with shaved Australian white spring

truŠe and pickled fennel with wasabi sesame seeds. The

result is a seamless fusion of passion and provenance.
