About
Sazanka sits on the ground floor of Hotel Okura Amsterdam adjacent to Michelin-starred Yamazato, sharing the hotel's Japanese ownership and the same commitment to authentic Japanese technique. Teppanyaki is both a culinary tradition and a performance — skilled chefs work at the teppan (iron griddle) directly before guests, cooking wagyu beef, seafood and seasonal vegetables with precision. The curated wine selection and intimate atmosphere make it one of Amsterdam's most theatrical fine dining experiences. Michelin reviewers have praised it, noting it well deserves its star (Yelp reviewers cite Michelin star recognition). Sazanka is distinct from Yamazato's quiet formality — livelier and more interactive.
