Herzliya's Arena shopping mall will soon become the first place in Israel to house a branch of the chic Nobu chain of Japanese restaurants owned by famed actor Robert De Niro, reports Ha'ir-Tzomet Hasharon. The actor's son, Raphael, recently visited Israel for discussions with mall managers, and the restaurant is expected to open in about six months. The chain, which opened its flagship branch in New York in 1994, has 11 branches in the US and eight in Europe, Asia and Australia.
