Nadaman at Island Shangri-La proudly unveils “Seasons Unfold, Senses Ignite”, an exquisite dining experience that celebrates the artistry and tradition of Japanese cuisine. Led by the visionary expertise of Chef Nobuo Tsuji, this culinary journey masterfully blends impeccable craftsmanship, seasonal ingredients, and deep cultural reverence, delivering a refined luxury experience that captivates every sense.   

With over 28 years of experience honed in Tokyo, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, Chef Tsuji, heir to a storied culinary lineage, transforms premium ingredients into edible masterpieces through meticulous techniques, elegant plating, and harmonious flavors. His innovative vision elevates each dish, from intricate Kaiseki to vibrant Teppanyaki, reflecting an unwavering commitment to culinary excellence.   

“Seasons Unfold, Senses Ignite” engages sight, sound, touch, taste, and aroma in a seamless symphony. Guests savor vibrant flavours, including the delicate sweetness of summer’s finest fish—such as Ishigakidai, Isaki, Ayu, Hamo, and Suzuki—sourced exclusively from Japan’s pristine coastal waters for Chef Tsuji. These seasonal treasures, at their peak, shine as sashimi with house-crafted soy sauce and premium wasabi or pair exquisitely with Nadaman’s signature sushi rice, prepared using a distinctive recipe and premium vinegar. Carefully selected beverages, from fine sake to delicate teas, complement each course, while tranquil music and sophisticated aesthetics evoke Japan’s cultural essence.   

Chef Tsuji’s Kaiseki menus embody warm hospitality, thoughtfully tailored to the season and individual preferences. Each course reflects Japan’s aesthetic principles of balance and simplicity, merging time-honored techniques with contemporary creativity. Daily deliveries from trusted Japanese farmers and fishermen, carefully selected through photos and videos, ensure exceptional freshness, making every dish a celebration of heritage and quality.   

For Teppanyaki, Chef Tsuji presents chilled Miyazaki Beef from Miyazaki Prefecture, delivered daily for unmatched tenderness and flavor, paired with vibrant Kyoto vegetables. The tender beef and crisp vegetables delight the senses, with each dish’s artful presentation captivating the eye. The grill becomes a stage where sizzling aromas and striking visuals captivate guests, embodying Chef Tsuji’s philosophy of “eat in freshness, serve the best.” With nearly two decades at Nadaman, from his early days in Tokyo to his tenure at Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai, Chef Tsuji reimagines Japanese cuisine while honoring its traditions, creating personalized, memorable moments.

Rooted in heritage, “Seasons Unfold, Senses Ignite” harmoniously blends tradition with innovation, inviting guests to connect with Japan’s culinary legacy through dishes that feel both timeless and modern.
