We all have our favorite homemade condiments in the kitchen, and the quarantine experience allowed us to rediscover all these flavors at home paired with comforting meals. Nobu Head Chef Michael de Jesus of City of Dreams Manila recreates these familiar notes with a modern spin with his jars of Amazu Pickled Chilies, Green Papaya Jalapeño Atchara and Chili Garlic with New Style Oil conveniently packed in an attractive box. 

The special savory condiments reflect Chinese, Filipino and Japanese flavors offering limitless possibilities in the kitchen. Known for their authentic Japanese and Asian cuisine, Nobu Head Chef Michael de Jesus brings these famed flavors to your kitchen, conveniently packed in jars. 

From the sweet and and refreshing tart sharpness to soothing spicy notes, each jar offers a colorful palette of rich flavors that brightens up any dish. That's something we all need in the long days of quarantine.

Take your favorite slab of crispy roasted pork belly, a popular and well-loved staple in many households, and add a splash of intense notes with the Green Papaya Jalapeño Atchara and the Pickled Amazu Chilies. Unlike the usual and much heavier condiments at home, the atchara and the pickled chilies deliver bright notes without overwhelming the delicate flavors of the pork.
