About
The second Izakaya Tanuki location opened in 2014 at Gelderlandplein — one of Amsterdam's most refined shopping centres, steps from the Zuidas financial district. The menu mirrors the Amstelveen original and reflects the deep culinary knowledge of Japanese chef Kenji Osone-San, who personally trained the kitchen and whose kushiyaki expertise continues to guide the cooking. Fresh sushi platters, sashimi, and grilled skewers are served daily from noon through to late evening, making it one of the most consistently available quality Japanese options in South Amsterdam. Poke bowls are also available under an in-house delivery label, broadening the offering further.
