On May 30th and 31st, 2026, NOTO no KOE IV, “Noto Cuisine by Seven Chefs,” will be held at Villa della pace in Nanao City, Noto Peninsula.
＊fully booked
***************************************************
“NOTO NO KOÉ,” which began after the earthquake, is not just a charity event, but an initiative that looks towards the future of Noto.
Food culture is rapidly disappearing.
By developing the traditional farming, mountain, and fishing village cuisine that has been rooted in the region since ancient times into modern cuisine, we hope to contribute to preserving Japan’s rich food culture, and have named the culinary concept “Noto Kyogei Ryori” (Noto Feast Cuisine).
We believe that the time created on this day together with chefs who have a deep connection to Noto will serve as a guidepost for a brighter future.
－Villa della Pace, Meiju Hirata
Here, there are things that may quietly disappear with the passage of time,
fleeting yet irreplaceable.
Inherited manners, flavors, and techniques.
And a way of life that speaks of this land and how to live.
These things are not spoken of loudly,
existing quietly, like a faint whisper.
That is precisely why passing them on now is of utmost importance.
Mr. Hirata’s words are very important to us.
– ESqUISSE Lionel Beccat
