It's a Japanese fusion restaurant that serves bitterballen and curly fries with mayonnaise.. but please consider the rest of the dishes before you roll your eyes! Their cocktail menu is small but excellent (and although currently out of Sake)- their spirit collection is plentiful so you can just about request any drink! For the gin drinkers- Tanqueray 10 is on the shelf!!!!!!! For starters, we had the edamame with sambal (amazing and something I'd never had before), moving on to the beef tataki (excellent and full of flavour), tuna tataki topped with finely shredded carrots (also excellent) and we finished this with curly fries, pork buns and mango rice hotpot! I think the pork buns (small, but with perfectly delicate boa bun)- which were stuffed with a fantastic piece of pork belly could have used more greens but that was a teeny tiny thing I noticed after I had inhaled most of this delicious morsel! All in all, I would recommend a visit! Service, ambience and food combined- not bad for Den Bosch!

Our waitress advised us to get an appetizer for everyone, as the bowls by themselves likely wouldn't be enough food. We ended up getting the kara-age and takoyaki, both delicious, as well as a bit of fish cake, which was an odd thing to have as an appetizer, but our Japanese friend was amused to even be eating it as an adult, so I guess it worked out. We also partook in some of their sake, which was absolutely delectable, and went well with our meals. They have a nice variety on offer, and our waitress was able to tell us about the differences between them. The bowls themselves were delicious, of course, but as our waitress said, these were more Japanese-sized portions. Ordering appetizers is a must, especially if you're used to having large portions as in the US. All in all, a wonderful little restaurant, and very close to the Vaartsche Rijn station, so if you're in the Utrecht area and hankering for some actual Japanese food, this is the place!

Chef Yamamoto serves gorgeous dishes, which he prepares front of house for all to see. His broth is delicious and the tofu was meltingly soft. His signature of 'Griet' fish done 3 ways is a revelation. The jelly is given texture by the addition of Griet roe, and the sashimi of the same fish is lightly cured and seasoned by being pressed in seaweed for 24h. Wonderful dish where everything just works. Price and quality are startling with various appetisers and immaculate dishes coming your way before finishing with a plate of generous sushi. Otoro tuna, Unagi etc. we'll crafted, with his rice being exceptional. The staff is sweet and friendly, and due to the fact that the small team is just starting, you get the feel of eating a surprisingly excellent meal in someone's sitting room. Almost homely, if it weren't for the quality and technique displayed here. Definitely a place we'll be following.

The staff is pretty chill and they have rooms of all different sizes, but they get booked up way in advance so be sure to plan ahead. You can order drinks straight to the room. The song selection can be disappointing if you're accustomed to the vast range of NYC's KTown but it gets the job done! There's a public bar area for dancing and drinks for pre/post party shenanigans if you so please. Also, since Duke of Tokyo is on Reguliersdwarsstraat (the most famous Dutch gay street!) you will absolutely have a lot of options around the area for all night dancing.
