Excellent taste
The Japanese Restaurant Yamazato in Amsterdam has one Michelin Star.
The Yamazato Restaurant in the Hotel Okura Amsterdam has a Sukiya-style interior. More than 50 specialities are prepared there by the capable hands of Executive Chef & Manager Masanori Tomikawa. When his predecessor, Mr Oshima, came to the Netherlands in 1971 he had one great desire: to introduce as many Dutch people as possible to authentic Japanese cuisine. At the Okura’s cooking studio, ‘Taste of Okura’, people can learn how to prepare the Okura’s chefs’ dishes themselves and sommeliers explain how to pair wine and sake with the food. Workshops held there will be based on the recipes of the Okura’s chefs. The cooking studio is situated on the hotel’s lowest floor and is provided with the latest high-tech Miele equipment. In addition to a kitchen, the culinary center also has a Wine Room, a shop and a trendy lounge, where you can enjoy the food you have prepared.
