Sensei by Nobu is an exclusive collaboration between world-renowned Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa and Sensei co-founder, Dr. David Agus. The experiences are rooted in the philosophy of the Sensei Way, which distills preventive health science, data and research into three simple paths for everyday living: move, nourish and rest. Sensei’s team of expert guides and practitioners work closely with guests to create a personalized and actionable guide to nutrition that is unique for each guest while they are on their well-being journey.
At Sensei by Nobu, guests can indulge in a personalized Omakase inspired by the rhythm of Kaiseki, which is a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner. The initial courses kindle the appetite with notes of vinegar, citrus, salt and refreshing chilled dishes. The intentional introduction of fats, warmth and deliberate portion sizes are all delivered at specific times to control the cascade of hormones. During the courses, the sushi chef, acting as a culinary guide, checks in to ask what the guests ate the previous night and for them to rank their hunger, allowing the chef to adjust the portion size, flavors and preparation methods accordingly to help shape the dining experience.
Guests won’t find the traditional hotel minibar at Sensei, but rather an elevated and updated twist on the classics curated through a wellness lens. Sensei stocks its minibars full of snacks reminiscent of traditional sweet and salty favorites but with more mindful ingredients and nutritional benefits such as Justin's dark chocolate peanut butter cups, Made Good granola minis, Oloves and lentil chips.
