Early spring in Kyoto is always beautiful, as cherry blossoms dust the historic city with their magic. Next year, though, the season promises to be extra special: Noma will be in town.
Once again, chef Rene Redzepi is mothballing his much-lauded Copenhagen restaurant and moving it to Japan ¡ª not for a fleeting pop-up but an extended visit lasting more than two months.
This will be the restaurant¡¯s second such stay in Japan following its six-week residency at Tokyo¡¯s Mandarin Oriental hotel in early 2015. Redzepi also took his team to Sydney in 2016 and the Mexican beach resort of Tulum in 2017. But next year¡¯s stay in Kyoto will carry extra significance for him and for Noma.
