Japanese Haute Cuisine

Letʼs get something clear: it requires up to 10 years to become a shokunin, a traditional master sushi chef. The Executive Chef Akira Oshima of the Okura Hotel has worked nearly 30 years at introducing Japanese cuisine to The Netherlands. And he has succeeded; since 2002, his restaurant Yamazato has been consistently awarded with a Michelin star. Up to date, it is the only traditional Japanese restaurant with a star in Europe.


Yamazato - Best Japanese Restaurant in Europe
Yamazato excells in both service and culinary art. There simply is nothing more to say. The 'hotel-ness' of the interior probably explains why Yamazato does not have two stars. The Japanese garden pond with large gold fish livens the interior. If you are a meat lover, don't forget to try the Wagyu dishes.
