A taste of Scandinavia
In collaboration with the Grand Hôtel Stockholm (the only Swedish hotel that is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World) and sponsored by Scandinavian Airlines, the Hotel Okura Tokyo has invited Andreas Askling, executive chef of the Grand Hôtel Stockholm, to hold a Royal Sweden Gourmet Festival in the Orchid Room through March 11.
With the increased popularity of the Nordic lifestyle and design, all things Scandinavian are becoming more familiar and the hotel wants their customers to experience the food culture of the region, presented in the traditional smörgasbord style. This style allows diners to sample a variety of traditional Scandinavian fare in one sitting. Customers will be able to enjoy the abundant fresh seafood native to the waters surrounding Northern Europe, including salmon and herring.
