DINNER FOR 1
SASU IN SEKSICO®

Everything is romantic when you are the one being courted.

The walk toward a table chosen only for yourself.
The clothes selected not to be seen, but to impress yourself only.
Where would you take yourself for a date? How would you dress, if the only gaze that mattered were your own?

This series by THE FLAMEL follows talents through Helsinki’s most iconic diners as they take themselves out on a date. To sit inside desire, appetite, style, and thought — uninterrupted.
The romance of a date with yourself is not quiet or modest; it is precise, indulgent, and deeply cultivated. It is the most refined form of pleasure there is.

For the first chapter of THE FLAMEL, Sasu chooses SEKSICO® TACOS — one of Helsinki’s most magnetic food destinations, where Mexican soul collides with Nordic irreverence.
A place that understands instinct, heat, texture, and satisfaction.
The perfect setting for a date that gives one of the most authentic experiences of Helsinki.

SASU IN MARNI

Mohair Warmth, Mexican Fire


Sasu arrives the way you do when you’re meeting someone important — grounded, intentional, entirely present.
His first look feels effortless yet precise: a Marni mohair-blend sweater, Marni water-repellent pants, and MM6 Maison Margiela Anatomic loafers. Comfort elevated to character. Softness with structure. Warmth without compromise.
At SEKSICO®, the tacos don’t ask for attention — they command it.
Textures collide, flavours linger, heat blooms slowly and confidently. Every bite feels personal, almost private. This is food designed for focus, for leaning in, for listening to your own appetite.

Between bites, Sasu reflects:
”Holiday dressing go-to: earmuffs — still waiting for the perfect pair.”
”Holiday movie style icon: James from The Snowman. Pyjamas, nostalgia, and the fantasy of an old tobacco robe worn without purpose.”
”Essential accessories: mittens. Always.”
”What makes him the perfect dinner date for himself: a strict habit of eating without a phone.”
Favourite thing about dining alone:
“The simple joy of being centered in the act of nourishing oneself — present, intentional, and aware of its life-sustaining import.”

Here, eating alone isn’t minimalism. It’s abundance.

SEKSICO®

The Mad Max of Tacos


SEKSICO® Tacos is a restaurant founded in 2020 in the heart of Helsinki’s Punavuori district. Beyond its cult tacos, SEKSICO is also known for its SEKSICO® Chili Sauce, which enjoys legendary status in Finland — a flavour people speak about with memory, loyalty, and heat still lingering.

SEKSICO® understands dining for one as amplification.
Flavours are layered, confident, slightly wild — designed to be fully experienced, never rushed, never shared out of politeness.

When asked which dish secretly tastes better when eaten alone, the answer is immediate:
The SEKSICO® Fried Chicken — french cream dip, habanero crispy chili, honey on the side. A combination that hits exactly where it should, when it should. No negotiation. No compromise.
And if one dish were to live forever in a cult movie scene?

Birria tacos — “the Mad Max of food.”Feral, resilient, communal by nature, yet deeply satisfying when claimed entirely for yourself. Food that feels cinematic, primal, unforgettable.

SEKSICO® doesn’t perform. It delivers.

And every bite — together with the atmosphere — becomes an unforgettable live event.

A Date Fully Claimed


The second look shifts the mood — outward, yet never away from the self.

Sasu steps outside, wrapped in a Wales Bonner leather logo motif bomber, Homme Plissé Issey Miyake pleated pants, and Maison Margiela Replica sneakers. A silhouette designed for movement, for breath, for letting the city brush against thought. Clothes that don’t shield, but accompany.

The cold air sharpens the senses. The aftertaste of SEKSICO® lingers — heat, texture, memory still alive on the tongue. There is no urgency to be elsewhere, no impulse to narrate the moment to anyone else. Only the quiet satisfaction of having chosen well: the place, the look, the timing.

In this suspended moment, SEKSICO® TACOS, THE FLAMEL, and Sasu align naturally as a shared frequency. A mutual understanding of pleasure, intention, and presence. Food, style, and self moving in the same direction.

Taking yourself out is not a pause from life.
It is life — curated, intentional, deeply pleasurable.

And if you were to take yourself on a date tonight,where would you go?
How would you dress to impress yourself?
And what would you finally ask —
when no one else is listening?
