About
Tucked just off the Leidseplein on Max Euweplein, Hosokawa has been one of Amsterdam's most enduring Japanese restaurants for more than three decades. Chef Hiromichi Hosokawa leads a highly skilled kitchen team, a combination that has earned the restaurant a Gault&Millau score of 13/20.
The restaurant revolves around three teppan grills, where guests can watch the team work up close with impressive precision. A separate seating area focuses on sushi and sashimi, offering an exceptionally wide selection of nigiri and maki rolls. Sitting at the chef's table puts you in the company of Hosokawa himself — known for his warmth and storytelling as much as his cooking.
More than 636 Google reviews averaging 4.3 stars speak to a loyal and appreciative following. Outdoor seating is available for those who want to enjoy Amsterdam's atmosphere, and vegetarian options are on the menu for guests who don't eat meat or fish.
Book your seat at the teppan or chef's table — and taste why Hosokawa has been an Amsterdam institution for over thirty years.
