also Soup Stock Tokyo in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo, will be hosting the "Nordic Food and Lifestyle Design Market" event from October 16th to 26th, bringing together Nordic food and lifestyle.

In addition to offering special menus during the event, they will also be hosting the "Lifestyle Design Market," which will feature a collection of Nordic design items, and a workshop on making Nordic sweets on October 20th and 21st.


The restaurant, which offers wine and soup, is based on the concept of "Soup Stock Tokyo on the Holidays." Following the successful first event last year, this event will feature Nordic menus for both brunch and dinner throughout the event.

When you think of Nordic cuisine, meatballs with berry jam and salmon soup are sure to come to mind first. Orso offers original recipes that incorporate the food wisdom of Nordic countries, such as salting and fermentation, which they use to get through the long winters. In addition to classic dishes like "Finnish Meatballs with Berry Stew" (880 yen) and "Salmon Cream Soup" (1,130 yen), there are also dishes with cute names and appearances, such as "Hasselback Potatoes" (580 yen) and "Jansson's Temptation" (880 yen). In addition, a limited-edition art soup called "White Night Soup" (880 yen), inspired by the fantastical scenery of the Arctic Circle, where the sun never sets during the short summer, will also be available.


Starting at 10am on October 20th and 21st, a special Nordic edition of "Delicious Classroom," a workshop that uses food as a starting point to consider the question "What is delicious?", will be held: "How to Spend Tea Time in Finland."

Participants will make "cinnamon rolls" on the 20th and "Karelian pie" on the 21st, two sweets that are essential to Nordic breakfasts and tea time, and enjoy tea time with freshly baked sweets and coffee. While the sweets are baking, local designers will introduce the everyday lives of Nordic people. The event is limited to 10 people per day, and the participation fee is 3,000 yen for adults and 1,500 yen for children up to elementary school age.
