Why We’re Crowdfunding
We’re raising funds to:
Finish setting up our ramen kitchen (importing specialist equipment from Japan)
Build out the dining space and signage
Make Noraya accessible, welcoming, and community-focused
Launch with the quality, warmth, and soul Noraya deserves
We’re not a chain. We’re two people bringing something we believe in to the place we call home. Every pound you contribute gets us closer to opening day.
What You Get
Your support means the world to us — and we want to say thanks properly.
We’ve created a range of ramen rewards, from thank-you shoutouts and exclusive merch to ramen sets, dining experiences, and long-term perks like free ramen for a year. There’s something for everyone — even if it’s just being part of this story.
Every pledge helps. Every bowl counts.
Why It Matters
This isn’t a pop-up. It’s not a side project. Noraya is built from the ground up by two friends with a shared vision, roots in this city, and a deep love for ramen.
If you’ve ever dreamed of having a proper Japanese ramen shop in Sheffield — this is it.
And we’d love for you to be part of it.
