In Finland's climate, foreign aggression, special geographical location and historical conditions, Finns have formed a very unique national characteristic and culture. The spirit of SISU is one of them. SISU is pronounced [see-su]. This is an ancient Finnish concept from the 16th century. This is the unique willpower of Finns, and it is a way to never give up and change challenges. The attitude of opportunity also implies motivation and determination.

Nowadays, the Finnish cooking style combines traditional local cuisine with contemporary European haute cuisine style. In Finland, berry bushes can be found in the every courtyard of a household.
