When the crown prince of Sweden visited the Osaka Expo in 1970, he dined at the Kitano Club in Kobe, our sister restaurant, and was greatly impressed with the cuisine. He enjoyed his meal so much that he recommended we build a second location in Tokyo's Roppongi, which we opened the following year in 1971. In 1999, we were proud to open our Akasaka location. We invite you to eat to your heart's content at the same smorgasbord of Northern European cuisine enjoyed by the royal family of Sweden. 　 The space inside of the restaurant is bright and airy, and the color scheme is based on white with blue and yellow accents, recalling the Swedish flag. This calm, relaxing atmosphere makes Restaurant Stockholm the perfect to spend time with family and friends. 　 The smorgasbord-featuring over 60 different dishes-is a type of traditional Northern European cuisine with a long history dating back to the 1700s. Our smorgasbord features seven different kinds of herring, a dish popular in Sweden. In addition, we have a variety of fresh seafood and meats, and cheeses. We hope you save some space to enjoy our desserts as well, which capture the flavor of genuine Swedish home cooking and include an assortment of cakes and fruits. 　 Aquavit is a type of spirit, the word coming from the Latin "Aqua-vitae" which means "water of life." This alcohol from Northern Europe is flavored with an assortment of herbs and is very difficult to obtain in Japan, so be sure to give it a try when enjoying our smorgasbord.
