About
One of Amsterdam's longest-running teppanyaki restaurants, Tomodachi ('friend' in Japanese) has spent three decades perfecting the art of live iron-griddle cooking. Guests sit at the teppanyaki table watching the chef prepare proteins, vegetables, and sauces with choreographic precision directly before them. The restaurant seats a maximum of 27 people, maintaining an intimate dinner theatre quality. Both course menus and à la carte options are available, with vegetarian course menus available on advance request. The concept is rooted in Japan's own teppanyaki tradition and the restaurant markets itself unambiguously as 'Japans live cooking.'
