Culinary

Award-winning Danish chef René Redzepi has taken his world-famous Michelin-starred restaurant Noma more than 8,500 km across the globe to Tokyo, Japan. The move gave Redzepi the opportunity to realise his desire to explore Japan’s cuisine, ingredients and culture. “You can find absolutely everything in the culinary field. You can enjoy the best pizza or dine at the trendiest, most expensive restaurants, but you can also have a dish that dates 500 years back in time.”

Arts & Culture

During Tokyo’s reconstruction after World War II, the city built several replicas of famous buildings from other countries. One example is the Tokyo Tower, a red and white tower inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This tower is perhaps Tokyo’s most beloved retro icon and at over 333 metres tall, the views are even more impressive than those of its Paris rival.
