Yamazato - A Dutch Kaiseki Experience 🎋🍣
Celebrating July birthdays with friends, we chose Yamazato for its famed kaiseki cuisine. The impeccable service stood out—they even surprised us with chocolate birthday cakes! Standout Moments: 🍊 Starter: Tuna with citrusy sauce, plus salmon & shrimp tempura topped with seaweed—bright, fresh, and addictive! 🐟 Sashimi: Fresh, though fewer fish varieties than omakase. (So much cod—got repetitive!) 🌽 Corn Rice: Paired with zingy sides that balanced the meal perfectly. 🍮 Dessert: Caramel pudding—silky, not too sweet, with gentle milky notes. Honest Notes: • 3-hour meal left us stuffed (portions sneak up on you!). • Main course fish overload—maybe should’ve picked the wagyu (heard it’s stellar). • Garden views of koi ponds and trees = serene. Verdict: Worth it for service + ambiance, but I prefer Shigure’s flavors. Why Visit? ✅ Elegant kaiseki traditions (Dutch twist!) ✅ Attentive, personalized service ✅ Pacing = perfect for celebrations 🔥 Pro Tip: Request the wagyu—skip the fish fatigue! #Kaiseki #JapaneseCuisine #FineDining #BirthdayDinner #HiddenGem #FoodieMemories #DutchEats
