THE NIKKEI NINE
Restaurant
A RESTAURANT WHERE FOOD AND DESIGN MAKE THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE The Nikkei Nine Restaurant is where Japanese and Peruvian cuisine meets creating a life-changing experience for the palate and the eyes. Located in Hamburg, one of the main cities in Germany, this incredible design restaurant by Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is famous for its food’s excellence, influenced by different cultures and continents’ gastronomies. The name NIKKEI represents the culinary direction of the restaurant, while the number nine is considered highly positive in the Japanese culture and was therefore added to the name. In Japan, nine hours is the length of a good night of sleep. Additionally, the number nine represents the highest level of economically achievable success and the ideal number of people at a table in restaurants. Coincidentally the street number 9 of the previous Doc Cheng’s serves as a connection between the innovative future and the traditional heritage of the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten at the Inner Alster Lake. This clear connection represents the thought of longevity and an exclusive restaurant concept. The restaurant found its name in the so-called Nikkei Cuisine that embraces Japanese cuisine with a Peruvian influence originated from the kitchens of Japanese immigrants in South America – predominantly in Peru and Brazil. Using surprising combinations and intense flavours, the Nikkei Cuisine presents s style that complements the Japanese fine sense of classically elegant dishes by adding cheerful, hearty Peruvian elements. Whether it is possible to find tartar from Wagyu steak from the southernmost tip of Japan, or pickled scallops, which are given a whole new taste thanks to Peruvian elements. Food is grilled over an open fire on the Japanese Robata grill in a walk-in show kitchen. To complete the gastronomic experience, the Nikkei Nine has a bar where it is possible to enjoy unusual, Japanese-Peruvian cocktail creations, exquisite champagne and sake. The gastronomic experience is just finely completed when combined with the luxury exotic decoration of the place. The new restaurant NIKKEI NINE is decorated entirely in shades of gold, cognac, amber and black. The interior concept of Nikkei Nine was created by General Manager Ingo C. Peters and his Executive Team. Boca do Lobo is one of the brands that makes part of the incredible interior of the restaurant, as one of the stars of the design is the Bohème Safe.
