About
Tucked behind an understated façade on the corner of Rozengracht and Marnixstraat in Amsterdam's city centre, Akitsu rewards those who step inside with a genuine Japanese dining experience. Gault&Millau awarded the restaurant a score of 13/20, recognition of the kitchen's considered and consistent approach.
The kitchen is led by chefs Edina San and Shu San, who divide responsibilities clearly: sushi and sashimi on one side, warm preparations on the other. The relaxed atmosphere and moderate price point have earned Akitsu a strong Google rating of 4.4 across more than 400 reviews.
One of the restaurant's most distinctive features is its tatami seating — a traditional low-table setup at floor level that lends the meal an authentically Japanese feel. Akitsu is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday and can be booked online in advance.
