Ukkō Restaurant

Ukkō gets its name from “Ukkonen”, a Finnish mythology referencing the god of the sky, weather, harvest and thunder. In the same mythology it was customary to come together and consume food and alcoholic beverages as a sacrifice. The celebration was believed to guarantee good weather and harvest for the year ahead. Ukkō possessed a weapon called “Ukonvasara” an anchor looking hammer, representing the weapon Ukkō used to strike lightening. The name Ukkō is an extension of the idea of a space where people come together to celebrate special moments.
