de Japanner
Amsterdam, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
de Japanner brought the casual izakaya to Amsterdam — Japanese small plates and sushi on Albert Cuypstraat, at the far end of the De Pijp market. The founders set out to leave the all-you-can-eat sushi format behind: order a few dishes at a time, keep drinking, stay late. The room is loud and unfussy in the way an izakaya should be, and it takes groups of up to sixteen without ceremony. The kitchen accommodates allergen requirements, which is rarer than it should be at this price level. It sits on our verified list of neighbourhood favourites — a De Pijp regular rather than a market-day stop.
