Noma has opened an online store that will sell the Japanese-designed chopsticks, forks, bowls and plates used during its pop-up event in Tokyo.
Fans who couldnāt score a seat during the Danish restaurantās five-week residency at the Mandarin Oriental this month can buy a piece of the experience from their newly opened online store.
In preparation for the temporary takeover of the hotelās dining room, Noma chef RenĆ© Redzepi commissioned 14 local Japanese artists, potters and chefs to create locally sourced tableware for his pop-up.
The result is a collection of artisanal and eye-wateringly pricey earthenware plates and bowls and organic lacquer forks and spoons.
A single pair of chopsticks is priced at $65 USD, while a single fork or spoon will set you back $200 USD.
The collection was co-curated by designer Sonya Park, also the creative director of design brand Arts & Science in Tokyo.
The pop-up event in Tokyo ends this week.
