Concept
The spirit of NOUA
The name
NOUA is named to echo the warmth of soup at its core and the presence of the sea in Shimonoseki — a place where time can gently unwind.
Our thoughts on soup
Built around soup
We are a course restaurant centred on Korean soups. From the first bowl of broth to the last bite, every dish is built around soup.
Ingredients of Shimonoseki
Fish from Karato Market, pufferfish, and local produce such as Akada tomato and Tengu spinach — prepared with the techniques of Korean cuisine.
Quiet depth
We take on even world-first dishes, yet ground them in quiet depth rather than novelty — flavours you will want to return to.
