One Dastorkon for the Whole World: MBANK is the General Sponsor of "Nomad Kitchen"

In the Kyrchyn Gorge, where the Tien Shan mountains meet the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul, the whole world has gathered to sit at a single dastorkon. MBANK shared this table with the guests as the General Sponsor of the gastronomic festival "World Nomad Kitchen 2026," which this year expanded across five locations along the Issyk-Kul coast within ethno-villages and ethno-bazaars.

From September 1 to 6, the most soul-stirring celebration of the VI World Nomad Games is unfolding here under the open sky. The dastorkon has brought together 15 chefs from 15 different countries. They have taken their places at the kazans (cauldrons) to jointly revive thousand-year-old recipes of nomadic peoples—the very flavors passed down through generations.

The scale of the celebration is as impressive as its atmosphere: more than 70 restaurants have opened in Kyrchyn, and over 150 food zones are welcoming guests across all Games venues. Organizers expect more than 200,000 guests daily, and entry to the ethno-village territory is free for everyone.

However, the festival is not limited to cuisine alone. Adjacent to the dastorkon is the Ethno-Bazaar, where artisans from across the country showcase handmade crafts—felt, chiy (reed mats), jewelry, and items infused with the soul of Kyrgyz craftsmanship.

To ensure that guests leave with only warm memories rather than worries about how to pay, MBANK has prepared special financial and technological solutions. Payments for purchases or treats can be made conveniently at any point throughout the festival.

This very idea drives the bank's partnership with the festival. MBANK noted: "Nomad Kitchen" unites nations through taste and tradition, and the bank itself, founded in Kyrgyzstan, supports large-scale national events of a global level while providing comfort for the country's guests.

It is no coincidence that MBANK serves as the general partner of the festival—for the bank, it is a way to demonstrate loyalty to national roots and a commitment to the culture of hospitality, which is reflected in its slogan: "MBANK. Made in Kyrgyzstan!"
