The Nikkei Nine Restaurant

Hamburg

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. This piece is composed of a set of luxury vintage travelling suitcases,

that welcomes the clients at the entrance.

The focus of the innovative concept is the restaurant’s theatre kitchen that is accessible for guests, to have the possibility to enjoy the meal being coked by the most talented professionals. Furthermore, a double-loaded bar, that creates amazing cocktails as well as dinner can be served, brings additional value to the restaurant. In the evening. The two-sided Nikkei Nine bar is the centre piece of the entrance area, where a chimney embedded in the wall and sophisticated lighting concepts create an extraordinary feeling of space. Perfectly connecting with the vibe and concept of Nikkei Nine, the Boca do Lobo’s Bohème Safe embodies the spirit of true adventurers who choose to live an unconventional lifestyle, born as a statement piece that travelled around the world. It has seen the cherry trees blooming in Japan, and this is what makes it so suitable for this project. Comprising a collection of vintage suitcases in the interwar style that capture different events, nations and ideas, the Bohème cabinet is comprised of six polished brass briefcases, each one possessing its drawer with an interior that can be fully customized. As part of the Private Collection by Boca do Lobo, the most exclusive and luxurious of all, this piece is created to keep the most precious items and secrets, being now a center piece in one of the best kept gastronomic and design secrets in the world.
