Thank you for your continued support and see you soon!

Cheers,
The ISSHO Team

We were a part of Moveat for the third year in a row and for the third time we got awarded the People’s choice with we are happy and proud about.

Thank you for having us this time .norway until next time.

“The People’s Choice award is a seal of quality based on hundreds of people interested in food’s experiences of restaurants, cafés and delis throughout Norway.

We are proud every year to highlight local industry players who have received the highest marks from their guests.”

Sumo wrestlers aren’t allowed to drive cars.
It sounds absurd, but this is actually true. After a serious car accident involving a sumo wrestler, the Sumo Association banned wrestlers from driving their own cars. Just ’cause they can, I guess.

So they drink Japanese beer and eat a ton of izakaya dishes. Which you can do here at ISSHO as well. Welcome! 👺🎏👹🍡

Yakitori is a popular Japanese dish consisting of skewered and grilled chicken. The term “yakitori” literally means grilled bird. It originated in Japan but has gained international popularity. The skewers often include various parts of the chicken, like thighs, wings, and skin, all seasoned and grilled to perfection.

When paired with food, sake holds two main functions. Firstly, it can intensify or even bring out hidden flavors of the ingredients in the food, in turn enhancing the taste profile and eating experience. Secondly, it can refresh the palate for the next bite.

The Japanese word izakaya (居酒屋) is made up of three kanji with the meaning, in order, “stay-drink-place.” A spot to grab a drink, settle in, and get comfortable. Sounds about right.

❄️✨ The first week of the year has been icy, but now, the temperatures are starting to thaw, and it’s the perfect time to step out into the welcoming ambience of Issho. 🍣

🍶 Join us for an evening filled with Japanese dishes and refreshing drinks. Escape the cold and step into the warm atmosphere at Issho. See you this week! 🌟
