Noma Japan serves its first dinner

Take a look at the first pictures from behind the scenes as the chefs and front of house staff prepare for work

We thought you might like to see some of the pictures from Noma Japan where René Redzepi and the team have just finished their first dinner serving. We'll be bringing you a full report from Tokyo next week but for now take a look at the first pictures to emerge from the Mandarin Oriental where Redzepi and the Noma team will be holding court for the next six weeks. If you can't make it to Tokyo why not check out our René Redzepi Collection consisting of Noma, A Work in Progress and Coco at a special low price for a limited time only.
