Dear Friends, Kyoto is calling. 

Noma will return to Ace Hotel Kyoto for a 10-week residency, from October 8th to December 18th.    

During the sakura season in 2023, after many years of traveling and exploring all corners of Japan, our entire staff moved to Japan’s ancient capital, along with their children, spouses, and significant others. It was one of the most fulfilling and creatively electric periods in our team’s history.  

Now, we will have the chance to do it again—but this time, we’ll immerse ourselves in the autumn season, which presents a completely different array of flavors and ingredients. The explosion of reds and golds that define this season is stunning. So, too, are the ingredients synonymous with fall in Japan—wonders that grow in the forest, beautiful seafood, and a variety of game. Working closely with an incredible network of purveyors and artisans, our connection to one of the richest food cultures on earth will only deepen.
