Vattenramen Amsterdam: 2 new ramen restaurants from Michelin chef Hideto Kawahara

Vattenramen Amsterdam is your new go-to place for windows

Fancy a bowl of ramen with friends tonight? We have good news! You can now order a truly delicious bowl in the center of Amsterdam at Vattenramen Amsterdam. A ramen restaurant by renowned Michelin-starred chef Hideto Kawahara, from, of course, Japan! Michelin-starred chef Hideto Kawahara opened his first restaurant, Hide-Chan Ramen, in 1993 in Fukuoka, Japan, before moving to New York City where he opened two more ramen restaurants in 2010. In 2013, his ramen was voted the best in Manhattan and is now even featured in the Michelin Guide.

If you've forgotten what ramen is, I'll happily explain it to you. Gotta love ramen! Ramen is a Japanese noodle dish served in a broth with pork and/or chicken. The broth, or rather, soup, is simmered for hours, intensifying the flavors. In other words, even more delicious. Delicious as a light lunch or a quickie in the evening.

Vattenramen Amsterdam's Kerkstraat location is currently open, and the second location on Zeedijk will soon be opening its doors. Not a fan of ramen? Then you can also find the divine gyozas and other Japanese side dishes. Trust me, you won't want to stop by once, twice, or even three times; this will be a weekly treat!

P.S. Keep an eye on happy hour deals if you're a bit short on cash ;-)
