The Nobu Palo Alto Hotel has introduced a new happy hour offering called Tanoshi Hour, which takes place in the hotel’s Lobby Bar. This event features a range of spirit-free options, as well as saké and cocktails, and includes one of two snack sets that come with the chef’s choice of sushi and either fresh oysters and takumi burgers or the Nobu Classics of rock shrimp tempura and black cod miso butter lettuce cups (1).
