Tokumaru (Japanese restaurant)

LogoTokumaru

Now you can enjoy the genuine Japanese cuisine right in Tallinn’s city centre. The new restaurant Tokumaru offers widely known sushi as well as other exciting Japanese dishes. Our great gastronomic masterpiece is ramen − a popular Japanese noodle soup. We prepare our noodles fresh, just as we cook the broth, following the traditional family recipes of the Tokumaru’s Japanese chef Daigo Takagi. Tokumaru is a groovy place for both a relaxing lunch break and a more formal business lunch. Both cinemagoers as well as shoppers enjoy stopping by. For a soothing ambience in the evening one could go for a table for two, or spend their time joyfully at the large table. Every month Tokumaru organises thrilling Japanese-themed evening events that you can read about at our Facebook page. Tokumaru is situated on the second floor of the Solaris shopping centre, right above the Solaris cinema box office.

During the festival, if you show your ticket, set of Shio ramen and sushi (2 salmon & 2 maki) is 6.50 EUR!

Like all things with soul, our business started as well from our own − owners Tanel and Risto − interest and passion towards good beer and coffee. Analysing market situation last year, we came to the conclusion that now the time is right to try with specialized beer and coffee shop. We decided to test the idea with a summer project in one of the favourite summer destinations Haapsalu and that turned out to be a great success! As a natural step similar but a bit bigger shop  was opened  in Tallinn  last year in December. We  want to offer best craft beer assortment in Estonia and very best small roasterscoffee beans. It is very important to us that customer feels good and cosy in our shop and that she or he gets the best professional advise possible. We, the owners, are very often in the store as well and we always feel blessed to talk to customers who are truly interested in beer and coffee. This business is for us more a hobby rather than the business. We have tried to put together beer assortment in a way that everybody finds for her / himself something new and interesting. Estonian craft beers are continuously very popular, also there is strong interest to more exotic beers like Baird from Japan. Of course one can find in our store famous micro beers like Amager, De Molem, Mikkeller. Coffee beans are available from all over the world. It is possible coffee to be ground. We also serve the coffee in the store and to go. Our store Uba ja Humal has totally unique combination of products. Even if on the first sight it may seem that coffee and beer do not have anything in common, those products are very similar by the long history and tradition how they are produced. Owners Tanel ja Risto are experts in their own field and their interest is to promote coffee and beer culture in Estonia. In addition to excellent service, we plan to start in the future also with coffee and beer testing and training. We welcome all beer and coffee fellows in our store!

Suya and restaurant Kadriorg

SUYA is coming to Tallinn to introduce some relatively unknown West African flavours. The exciting mixture that is sweet, yet spicy; tastes like junk food but is very healthy and gives a little insight into the exciting new world of street food that is spreading rapidly through European food markets.
SUYA is a skewered meat, chicken or seafood dish, smothered in suya society’s very own secret spice recipe. It smells like cake and tastes savoury and is making a European debut in Estonia at the Orient festival. The flavours are built from a base of peanuts and ginger which is typical in West Africa, and is not only delicious but also has health benefits according to folklore. Ginger is good for the stomach, chilli for metabolism and garlic for the immune system. Our traditional method of serving the grilled skewers, with tomato and red onion is refreshing and ideal as a snack in the sun or a full meal.
SUYA itself is a dish that originates from the area that touches upon Northern Nigeria, Northern Cameroon, Southern Sudan and Niger. It has however taken shape as a Nigerian national dish for a couple of reasons, but one of the most important is its unifying ability between social classes, income groups and even race. Everyone eats SUYA, everyone loves SUYA, and it’s time for Estonia to try it and do the same.


Yoga

OrientJooga

A dedicated seeker of truth, and a peculiar poet, my purpose in life is to create beauty. In every experience. In every shape. In every form.
Through constant growth, deep understanding, and an adventurous lifestyle, I gradually develop my thought patterns − so that clarity can emerge. I enjoy to venture both alone, and with company. I love everything that challenges me, reflects, and pushes my limits. Every mystical incident and encounter brings a smile to my face.
Yoga plays a huge role in my existence. The journey began in England, where not a day passed by without my yoga mat. Whatever happened in life, whatever chaos unfolded-through yoga I always found my calm. Synchronized events together with countless signs brought me to New York, where I trained under the tutelage of a world known teacher, Maty Ezraty. This is what gave me the initial push to start sharing the wisdom I gained, and this heartfelt passion of mine, with you.

International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)

The founder of the movement says: “The International Society for Krishna Consciousness is first of all an educational institution and it’s purpose is to teach spiritual knowledge”. One of the important philosophical understandings of our movement is that each and every living entity is an inseparable part of God or in other words a spirit soul. To love God is the natural state of being for every living entity. The highest purpose of the human life, regardless of race, nationality or religious confession, is to reawaken such natural love. Krishna consciousness is not a superficial philosophy of life, but the original state of every living entity. A living entity forgets it’s original and eternal connection with God, when it comes into contact with the material nature and tries to control it. The practice of Krishna consciousness helps us to restore our original nature. The practice of Krishna Consciousness is based on bhakti yoga, which is the culmination of all forms of yoga, knowledge, meditation, and spirituality. Thanks to this practice our heart is being cleansed of all bad qualities and our natural love for God and for all other living entities will surely be restored.

Silkroad Treasures

SilkroadTreasures400

Silkroad Treasures offers handmade tibetan jewelry and accessories made in Nepal. Most of the jewelry is made from silver, but some pieces are from white metal. Nepalese jewelry artists use a lot of turqouise and coral, but also other semiprecious stones such as rubies, sapphires, amethyst, garnet, jade, agate, lapis lazuli and copal. Many jewelry artisans in Nepal are actually not native Nepalese, but Tibetans who fled from the Chinese invaders to Nepal in 1950ies. It is noteworthy that many jewelry makers are women.
Jewelry plays a significant role in the culture of Nepal and Tibet and it is a natural part of everyday clothing. It is also a symbol of spirituality. Naturally, the Tibetan jewelry carries the theme of and hence is often adorned with symbols of budism. Tibetans and Nepalese people think that wearing the jewelry helps to draw the deities closer. In addition, the jewelry has a protective function.
Silkroad Treasures cooperates with Silkroad Experiences project and DANA eV that promotes Tibetan medicine and culture through various projects and activities. Part of the Silkroad Treasures sales proceeds are donated to DANA eV.
