I had dinner with my uncle there in 1996 and he ordered the most expensive set on offer, which apparently wasn't a high demand item. Nobu was already famous by then，but he still delivered all of the courses himself, and comped us a bottle of his favorite sake.

The next time I saw him was at the grand opening of the Beijing location. There, he gave me about $2500 in dining money. It honestly only required four lunches and one dinner to burn that!
