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 cuisine, the Japanese haute cuisine, are served. With the use of typically Japanese materials in the interior and the adjacent garden – which features beautiful cherry blossoms in spring – you will feel as though you are in Japan. The authentic Japanese Yamazato Restaurant has been awarded one Michelin star since 2002. The standards that apply to the kaiseki cuisine differ greatly from those of modern Japanese cuisine. The Yamazato menu 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 carefully balanced: from taste and texture to appearance and color. Japanese tradition is also reflected in the tableware and the kimonos worn by the waitresses.

• Preparation of dishes – Assess ingredients, prepare tools, and cook dishes according to recipes, carrying out quality checks and making adjustments when necessary.

• Presentation – Ensure varied and high-quality plating that defines the restaurant’s image.
