IZAKAYA Is Celebrating A Decade Of High-End Hospitality

On The Table Read, “the best entertainment magazine in the UK“, since 2012, IZAKAYA Asian Restaurant & Bar has been one of Amsterdam’s most popular and culinary hotspots, and has opened restaurants in The Netherlands, Germany and Spain.

IZAKAYA

IZAKAYA Asian Restaurant & Bar first introduced their Japanese concept 10 years ago to Amsterdam, located in the bustling Pijp area. The restaurant turned out to be the originator of high-end Japanese cuisine with a South American twist, defining new standards for the Dutch hospitality industry.

Part of THE ENTOURAGE GROUP, an unrivalled hospitality empire, renowned for creating internationally acclaimed food and beverage concepts across the world. Following the success of IZAKAYA in Amsterdam, the group expanded IZAKAYA to two new locations: Munich (2017) and Ibiza (2017).

The traditional ‘Izakaya’ is best translated as ‘Japanese pub’, a cornerstone of the Japanese food culture. IZAKAYA gives this authentic principle a high-end gastronomic twist. Time-honored techniques blend together with innovative signatures, with spectacular dishes as the end result. Dishes are served on small plates that are made for sharing with guests, inviting you for conversation about new textures and flavours

IZAKAYA Menu

The menu features fresh sushi, sashimi and a variety of exquisite meat and fish, elevating the traditional Japanese dining experience to a higher level; authentic elements are given a contemporary twist combined with creative techniques including a traditional Robata grill positioned in the heart of the restaurant where guests can watch the chef inimitably create their masterpieces.

Along with redefining Asian culinary classics, IZAKAYA gives a cutting-edge twist to the bar with a giant wine fridge as the main feature of the central bar, offering a vast international fine wine library. Additionally, there is an array of house-infused tonics with the Japanese Shochu as the base. The Shochu is distilled from barley, buckwheat and sweet potato.

‘’As a creative concept developer, I envision and feel the places I design before they actually exist. I always create places that suit the locals, but try to offer them something new at the same time. It’s extremely important to get to know the market; you can’t ignore a city and its people’s heritage. I love to develop something from the roots and pay attention to every tiny detail. Every aspect has to be captured by the same language.’

“I’m not creating restaurants, I’m creating experiences.” – Yossi Eliyahoo, Founder & Co-Owner of THE ENTOURAGE GROUP
