About Noka

A journey of authentic Japanese flavors in Singapore

Our Story

Founded with a passion for authentic Japanese cuisine, Noka represents the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. Our name, derived from the Japanese word meaning "harmonious fragrance," embodies our commitment to creating dishes that not only taste exceptional but also tell the story of Japanese culinary heritage.

Since opening our doors in Singapore, we have been dedicated to bringing the finest Japanese dining experience to food enthusiasts. With our re-launch in July 2025, we continue to honor centuries-old traditions while embracing modern techniques and local influences.
