The Menu
In our eight-seat restaurant, you experience Japanese craftsmanship, expressed in a fully authentic Yama signature.
My life’s work, distilled into a single narrative omakase menu.
We hope to surprise you with an experience where open-fire cooking and the intimacy of our chef’s counter come together, hidden within the historic walls of Naarden Vesting, where we welcome you into a Japanese house, my house.
Guided by Mottainai (もったいない), every ingredient is fully respected. Nothing is wasted, everything is given meaning.
Each dish is the result of precision and dedication, in dialogue between the Netherlands and Japan, and shaped by the seasons.
