De Japanner West is a trendy bar and restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and good Japanese food, cocktails, and sake.

Izakaya-inspired Japan-meets-Amsterdam food bar

Izakaya

De Japanner, rather an eatery than a restaurant, is inspired by the Japanese izakaya: small bars where workers relax with beer, sake and finger food after a long day of work before commuting (often for hours) home.

Inside, the bar has 2 levels where you can dine or have a drink. In summer you can sit on a sunny outdoor terrace where they serve cocktails, dinner or bar snacks.

On the menu  

The restaurant is known for serving good quality Japanese cuisine, including sushi, sashimi, and various izakaya-style dishes.

Sample dishes are: Hamachi sashimi, Nasu dengaku, Salmon tataki, Vegan agedashi tofu, Chicken katsu, Saikoro beef steak, Uramaki.

Vibe

What makes De Japanner special is its combination of quality food and a buzzing atmosphere. It's not just about the dishes but also the overall experience of dining there, which blends great food with a lively social setting.

Location

De Japanner is located in the friendly Oud-West neighbourhood of Amsterdam West, where several more good-quality eateries are, like De Italiaan, Pastis, and Bosco.

Reservation

As it tends to be quite popular and can get busy, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, reservations are recommended.

Make your table reservation online  via De Japanner's official site.
