About
Ikkoku (炉端割烹 — 'robata-style kappo') occupies a secret-feeling space behind the Taigu matcha café on Ceintuurbaan, adding a layer of theatre to the dining experience. Chef Mitsuhiro Narita, who also leads Hatsune's kaiseki kitchen, brings the same Tsuji Culinary Institute precision to a more casual, sake-bar-inflected setting here. The €97 omakase spans bluefin tuna sashimi, A5 Wagyu preparations, seasonal nigiri, and the robata-influenced grilled courses that define the 炉端 (robata) concept. The sake list is among Amsterdam's most thoughtfully curated. De Pijp's creative, culinary neighbourhood provides perfect context for this understated gem.
