ISSEI Stockholm

Japanese/Peruvian cuisine

One of Stockholm's first Nikkei restaurants, ISSEI introduced the city to a cuisine that was previously unknown for many. Nikkei is the fusion cuisine that emerged when Japanese migrants took their food culture with them to Peru in the 19th century, merging ingredients such as miso, ginger, soya, wasabi and rice vinegar with aji, yellow peppers, sweetcorn and potatoes. Choose from snacks, larger dishes and sweet desserts. If you want to make the choice simple, the omakase - where the chef selects four courses - is a great option.
