Amsterdam has a number of good omakase restaurants, but Omakase Amsterdam is a new addition! In the heart of the Pijp (on Ferdinand Bolstraat), you can now enjoy authentic Japanese food according to traditional omakase menus.

Atmosphere and interior at Omakase Amsterdam

Step inside Omakase Amsterdam (a bit hidden behind the Heineken Brewery) and you'll briefly feel like you're in Japan. The light wood, the small tables, and the natural light feel unfamiliar to Amsterdam. Add to that the chefs who passionately discuss everything on your plate, and you have the recipe for a truly successful experience.

Menu and dishes at Omakase

As the name suggests, at Omakase Amsterdam you'll enjoy a full omakase menu. The word omakase means "I leave it up to you," and that's exactly what you do here: not taking matters into your own hands, but surrendering to the chefs' ideas and preparations.

At Omakase Amsterdam, that's no punishment! From Wednesday to Saturday, you can enjoy a 14-course omakase menu (!) for €59. This includes a variety of dishes, fish, and sushi, all freshly prepared right in front of you by the chefs. And just like at Ken Sushi and many other omakase restaurants, the chef will tell you all about what's on your plate.

Team YourLBB's favorites vary, but we all agree that the halibut nigiri is a feast for the taste buds. And of course, the otoro is a must-try, because is there a more delicious piece of tuna than that? We doubt it, and at Omakase, they demonstrate just how versatile they are. In short: you have to try this for yourself.
