During the covid19 lockdown, most - if not all - restaurants had to adapt to a new economic reality. That is, find a new business model or face an uncertain future. Our favorite restaurant in the world ORA was no exception. But when some have been struggling selling their take away, others, like chef Sasu Laukkonen was hiring new staff. Granted, he probably doesn't make as much money as doing his traditional menu, but he's now quite successful in his new temporary business venture. Being trained in the japanese art of making sushis, his "Sasu Sushis" or "Sasushis" are literally flying off the shelf. And believe us, they're on par with what you can find in Japanese restaurants. And maybe even better! On top of that, he does an "ORA in the park", which basically is a 3 courses picnic basket. And on top of these, he does as well a take away dinner in a the spirit of his Michelin cuisine. We're so glad to know this guy...
PS
Like most european countries, restaurants are now re-opening in Finland as well, but with very strict hygiene rules. ORA being a tiny restaurant (more or less 10 tables) it is virtually impossible to make safe distance between tables. And so, it makes no economic sense for Sasu to re-open it now. Maybe end of July...
