The ten-episode limited series is based on James Clavell’s 1875 historical fiction novel set during the late Sengoku period in Japan in the 1600s. It stars producer Hiroyuki Sanada as Lord Yoshii Toranga, Cosmo Jarvis as John Blackthorne, and Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko. Through Tuesday, February 27, guests at Nobu Hotel Miami Beach will step into the world depicted in the novel and adaptation with the Shogun costumes, as seen in the series, showcased in the lobby of Nobu Hotel Miami Beach and other participating Nobu Hotels. “FX’s collaboration with Nobu Hospitality is a celebration of Shogun and a heartfelt trib- ute to Japanese culture and history that will appeal to both fans of the book and those new to the story,” says Kenya Hardaway, senior vice president of integrated promotions at FX. “Every aspect of this collaboration has been carefully designed to reflect the show’s essence, providing an unforgettable experi- ence that complements the epic narrative of FX’s Shogun and leaves a lasting impression.” Until the series premiere on Febru- ary 27, Nobu restau- rants in the U.S. will serve two specialty cocktails inspired by the series. One of the special cocktails is the “Samurai Brew,” which was crafted to embody the spirit of the se- ries. The cocktail is a bold blend of Qui Plati- num Extra Anejo tequila and Nobu sake. The second cocktail is “The Haze Over Osaka,” which is made with Iwai Tradition Japanese whisky that offers a rich and smoky composition. The intention behind the cre- ation of this drink is to “echo the depth” of the show’s narrative. “We are thrilled to partner with FX to cel- ebrate the upcoming premiere of Shogun, a collaboration that aligns with Nobu’s com- mitment to exceptional, culturally rich expe- riences,” says Rachael Palumbo, vice president of global hotel brand marketing. “Our team has passionately embraced the spirit of this iconic story, offering memorable experiences that pay tribute to the legacy of Shogun, which we believe will resonate deeply with Nobu guests.” Additionally, guests checking in to Nobu hotels February 21-27 will be treated to an ex- clusive amenity kit from Bokksu featuring a variety of snacks selected to capture the es- sence of Japan’s winter season. Shogun premieres on Tuesday, February 27, on Hulu. Nobu Hotel at Eden Roc Miami. 4525 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-704-7600; nobures- taurants.com.
