Kanata | 9.1

Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Kanata, a Wagyu restaurant in Amsterdam. It was an unforgettable experience. It is a small restaurant with maybe 8- 10 tables. The quality of the food was incredibly high. We decided to go for the Wagyu tasting menu to try as many variations of Wagyu as possible. Each dish was delicious in its own way.

We had an appetizer, 8 wagyu dishes, a dessert and a coffee or tea in the tasting menu. They were a few dishes that stood out one of these dishes was the “Yukhoe” which was like a wagyu steak tartare. It has a really special texture as if it was not even meat if that makes sence. The shabu shabu was also really nice, it is an A5 Wagyu briefly cooked in beef stock with veggies and ponzu sauce. The last dish that was so good it is still on my mind is the Yakizuki, which is a A5 Wagyu dipped in sukiyaki sauce, served with pasteurized egg yolk and Japanese rice.

@byrow_official If you would like to eat wagyu A5 in the Netherlands, look no further and make a reservation at Kanata right away. We did a wagyu tasting course and the experience was great. We got an appetizer , 8 dishes, a dessert and a coffee or tea. The yukhoe, shabu shabu, sushi and the yakisuki bered style were our favorite. The service was great as was the food. Throughout the experience, the waiter stood at the table for more than half an hour preparing some of the dishes for you. #wagyubeef #wagyusteak #wagyua5 #kanata #amsterdamfood #amsterdamfoodblogger #amsterdamfoodblog #foodamsterdam #amsterdamfood #amsterdamrestaurantguide #foodieamsterdam ♬ origineel geluid – Rowena.vandenbosch

I read a few reviews on Google that some people thought the amount of Wagyu served for the price was not enough, but I completely disagree. Not only is the meat itself quite expensive, but you also pay for the exceptional service. Our waiter stood by our table for well over half an hour to prepare the food for us. It felt like you have your own chef on your table.

Overall, the experience at Restaurant Kanata was truly unforgettable. The quality of the food, combined with the exceptional service, made for a truly memorable meal. We will definitely be returning to Kanata in the future. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Amsterdam, be sure to check out Kanata.
