Annual Classic Crayfish Party & Seafood Platter at TAK – A Long-Awaited Tradition

Are you looking for the most unique crayfish party in Stockholm? Every August, we crank up the volume for TAK’s annual, wildly popular crayfish party – Izakaya style. It has become one of late summer’s most anticipated traditions in Stockholm.

We’re serving up a massive seafood platter, packed with premium Nordic ingredients in a bold Asian fusion. Think fresh crayfish and crispy sushi paired with side orders like Västerbotten korokke (crispy Japanese croquettes with vendace roe), our famous Skagen, and an absolutely insane yuzu and dill crown hollandaise.

To match the feast, we're pouring seriously good Japanese sake and fresh cocktails made with Nordic aquavit. The ultimate blend of Nordic tradition and Japanese craft.

Sommelier's Recommendation

Aquavit Cocktails and Sake.
To perfect the evening, our bartenders have crafted unique drink pairings. The subtle sweetness of the cocktails pairs beautifully with the brininess of the seafood. We also serve well-chilled snaps, craft beer, and crisp white wines.
