SHINKA 進化: Evolution, to step up
For over 10 years, we have delighted Stockholm and created a wider and deeper understanding for authentic Japanese cooking, but there is still so much to show, cook and experience. We fight a daily battle against misunderstandings and prejudices about Japanese cuisine. Like, what’s the deal with pouring soy sauce on well made dishes and completely ruin the flavor balance? And well-made sushi pieces swimming in soy sauce… And expecting a bowl of rice bowl or miso soup with any dishes? Just… please don’t. These are customs that have been established in not so authentic Japanese restaurants over the years with no harm intended, but now it’s time to eat Japanese in a true Japanese way. I promise you, it will be worth it.
We are proud to announce the next step in our quest to serve you the best possible Japanese food experience
AUTHENTIC 伝統 (Dentou)
We will present new exciting dishes for you, periodically, based on traditional Japanese cooking traditions and ingredients in season.
AS LOCAL AS CAN BE 地消地産 (Chishou Chisan)
In Japan, each region has developed its own style and flavors depending on available foodstuffs and traditions enjoyed by the locals. B.L.Y is a Japanese Izakaya in Stockholm, so naturally we are constantly experimenting with Japanese cooking methods on locally grown ingredients for sustainable and super tasty dishes.
NO BULLSHIT 誠実 (Seijitsu)
At B.L.Y we don’t use prefabricated foodstuffs or second rate ingredients, Never have, never will.
TRUE IZAKAYA 本格 (Honkaku)
An Izakaya is a place for great food and drinks where you and your friends relax and have a good time. We are proud to call ourselves the most authentic Izakaya in town and we will keep improving the atmosphere and feeling to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
Enjoy!
