noma Kyoto

noma, the three-Michelin-star restaurant run by chef René Redzepi (previously here), has been doing pop-ups at locations around the globe for some time now and their latest adventure is in Kyoto, Japan. noma Kyoto is located at the Ace Hotel which describes the experience:

The noma residency will run four days a week — Wednesday through Saturday — from Wednesday March 15th through Saturday May 20th — a 10 week run. There will be two seatings available every day — one lunch seating, and one dinner seating.

The noma Kyoto menu will cost €475 EUR per person with accompanying beverage pairing of €300 EUR per person, choice of alcoholic or non-alcoholic pairing.

The Ace Hotel Kyoto room package is an accommodation package that comes with a minimum 2 night stay in a Deluxe King room, as well as access to book 2 seats at the noma residency. All seats booked via the Ace Hotel Kyoto room package will be seated at communal tables. The communal tables seat up to 12 guests.

The multi-course tasting menu will take inspiration from noma and Rene Redzepi’s extensive travel in the Kyoto region and its neighboring areas, as well as the restaurant’s decade-long relationship with Japanese cooking and cuisine, combined with the innovation and creativity so unique to noma.


The interiors were done by OEO Studio who worked with some of the best local artisans specializing in ceramics, tatami, textiles, bamboo, and wood to express a concept that blends the Scandinavian roots of noma with the craftsmanship and materials of the Kyoto area. The beautiful results include artistic bamboo ceiling installations, pendants made of compressed seaweed, and a recreation of an underwater kelp forest hanging above guests.


It seems as of this writing, there are a very few limited number of seats still available. Check the Ace Hotel noma site for more info.
