Noma in Kyoto

Noma in Kyoto traces the long-standing relationship between the Copenhagen restaurant and Japan, shaped through years of travel, collaboration, and shared curiosity.

What began as an early encounter with Japanese food culture evolved into a deep exchange with artisans, chefs, farmers, and craftspeople across the country.

The book documents Noma’s time in Kyoto through places, people, and moments of discovery – moving beyond the restaurant to explore everyday rituals, landscapes, and local traditions. Food appears as part of a wider cultural context, grounded in seasonality, craftsmanship, and respect for place.

Noma in Kyoto is both a visual and narrative record of a dialogue between cultures, offering insight into how inspiration is gathered slowly, through presence and attention.
