"You came to Amsterdam, not Tokyo , so you probably didn't plan on eating Japanese food, but you might want to rethink that. Yamazato, which excels in kaiseki cuisine, was the first traditional Japanese restaurant in Europe to be awarded a Michelin star in 2002. The decor is decidedly Japanese and the dining room even overlooks a garden. Kaiseki menus are the main event. Expect a flurry of delicate creations, like shrimp sushi wrapped in bamboo leaf, or sashimi of tuna, yellowtail, seared seabream, squid, and sea urchin." - Meredith Bethune
