There is still better "purist" sushi out there, but for creativity, Nobu is still at the top of the list. I enjoyed an arrangement of raw shellfish centered around a solid brick of Himilayan rock salt. The instructions were to place the fish on the salt for a couple of seconds, then remove and eat. I have seen this on Iron Chef, and the result was quite tasty. Uni was nice, o-toro was very high quality but the winner of the evening was the yellowtail collar, which I am not sure was on the menu. The collar is just fantastically flavorful. I did not see the bill (it was a business dinner) but I assume it was a bit over the top. Nonetheless, I love being able to stumble out of Nobu and head to the Hard Rock bar to drink more.
