On the ground floor of Hotel Okura Amsterdam, you will find the authentic Japanese Yamazato Restaurant. Here, more than fifty specialties from the traditional kaiseki ryori kitchen, Japanese haute cuisine, are served. Through the use of typically Japanese materials in the interior, and the adjacent garden with beautiful cherry blossoms in the spring, you will feel as if you are in Japan. The authentic Japanese Yamazato Restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star since 2002. The standards that apply to the kaiseki kitchen differ greatly from those of the modern Japanese kitchen. The menu of Yamazato is composed according to the classic kaiseki structure. The kitchen distinguishes itself by focusing on the purity of seasonal, traditional Japanese ingredients. The style is minimalist and all dishes are in balance: from the taste and texture to the appearance and colors of the dishes. The Japanese tradition can be seen in the tableware and the kimono clothing of the waitresses.
