SoNoMa by SingleThread
Overview
Located within Capella Kyoto in the historic Miyagawa-cho district, SoNoMa by SingleThread comprises a 12-seat counter and a 20-seat lounge bar—reimagining the intimate atmosphere of a traditional machiya teahouse for the present day. Through a contemporary approach to Japanese culinary tradition, the menu celebrates the regional agriculture and heritage of Kyoto and the Kansai region, thoughtfully interwoven with select seasonal ingredients from Northern California. Under the direction of Chef Keita Tominaga, each experience reflects SingleThread's ethos, bringing the “Story of Today” to life in every course. Named SoNoMa (想乃間)—a poetic union of thought and space—the restaurant invites a moment of quiet reflection, where Kyoto’s cultural heritage and SingleThread’s spirit converge through seasonality, craftsmanship, and a profound sense of place.
