Kyoto 2024
Welcome
For the past twenty years, noma has been a restaurant ever curious to learn and grow—to be the best that we can be! Our origin is rooted in an exploration of the natural world, which began with a simple desire to rediscover wild local ingredients by foraging and to follow the seasons.
Since the early years, we have added many layers to what we do; we have teams dedicated only to innovation, another team is specialized in fermentation, we have fulltime foragers, gardeners, and researchers. We’ve traveled the world in search of inspiration, technique, friendship, and new ingredients. Over the years we’ve grown our staff from a mere twelve, to now more than one hundred.
Pursuit of knowledge, devout creativity, relentless teamwork, and surprising our guests are essential to who we are.

As the nights begin to chill and the days grow shorter in Copenhagen, it’s nice to look back on the beauty of summer. This season brought Omnivore, a new Summer Bundle with Noma Projects, and progress on the build-out of our upcoming space in Kyoto. Now, it’s time for a few weeks’ break for the team before the leaves change color and we head to Japan.

Week 4 in Kyoto is in the books! 🌪️ The typhoon threatened our plans, but we managed to add 3 more servings to the menu and build a stockpile of ferments. We also welcomed our Canadian sous chef Mattias and Dutch head sommelier Mees. Next up, we’re tasting the fresh corn misos from Hokkaido. Let’s hope Typhoon Shanshan passes swiftly and spares this lovely country we’re calling home.

How hard is your shell?

My journey as a triathlete began just two years ago as a personal experiment to see if the mental resilience and tenacity I’ve honed as a professional chef could not only translate to, but thrive in, a completely different arena.

The temperature frequently hits 40°C. It’s sweltering hot, the height of a Japanese summer. Yet, here in the test kitchen, we’re planning for a fall menu. Milder temperatures, a different set of ingredients, the changing colors of the season. How does this work? How do you tap into creativity for a season that’s still two or three months away? We have many ways, many techniques, and different approaches—a way of working that has been refined over two decades. Right now, it’s more about finding great ideas and honing in on the techniques while still, of course, discovering a dish here and there.
