4worldlovers: Inari is an intimate experience, created by the Michelin Star Chef Kim Mikkola. The innovative tasting menu combines local culture with Asian influences.

KIM MIKKOLA is the chef and owner of the Michelin star Restaurant Inari. His cuisine is focused on the best possible locally sourced ingredients to finest imported spices and like. The emphasis is on simplicity yet complexity and depth of the flavour, purity and seasonal thinking.

Helsinki native, started cooking at the age of 15. He started his career working in the best Finnish restaurants, such as one Michelin star restaurant Carma. Before opening Inari, he was working as a sous chef at the world famous restaurant Noma for over 4 years. He earned his first Michelin star at the age of 31.

“I come from very humble beginnings, the suburbs North of Helsinki. My family was very poor like almost every other family during the time in that particular area. The area was no stranger to crime and sorts.

Ever since I was little I have dreamed about being a chef. Being able to cook for people to make them feel happy. To enjoy a moment together, experience a moment with one another. My dad used to cook in our house. It was his way to show he cared. He cooked with cheap and common ingredients, but he prepared them with skill and care. We almost never went out to eat at a restaurant."

Inari is a place in Lapland, Finland, but also a goddess in Shintoism. Restaurant Inari has its feet firmly on the ground and roots in Finland, but head is hovering above Asia.

Inari aspires to provide its guests with an experience of being cared for, while introducing one to something new. It is an oasis of mind. Invigorating, rejuvenating, inspiring space. The goal is to invite one to a trip where one gets immersed into restaurant Inari’s dimensions for the entire evening.

"Very professional to the end as a Michelin starred restaurant should be."

Business: At our restaurant we want to offer our guests Experiences, the feelings of presence and care combined with a genuine passion towards our work.

4worldlovers: Emo offers experiences that we otherwise easily forget amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives: presence, care and a passion for food.

Our menu changes with the seasons. Favouring Finnish and Nordic small producers, we always plan our menu according to the season and its flavours. We are also passionate about the drinks we serve. Our cocktail and wine lists are designed with a high level of expertise, and our drink selection follows international trends.

The recipe for an enjoyable restaurant visit is simple: delicious food, care and dedication make anyone relax.

We strive to make the best possible use of food from its original sources. This is best accomplished by working directly with hunters, fishermen, or farmers to keep the supply chain in our restaurant as short as possible. Seasonality is reflected on the food and beverage side in different ways each season.

We prefer game, mushrooms, roots and domestic fish. However, we have not locked ourselves in a domestic offering, but we also use international raw materials if they just feel good to us. Like even truffles from the international market, quails or shellfish are occasionally found on our list subject to availability.
