who are we?
Azuma, Japanese for “East,” has a double meaning. The East, as a nod to Japan, the region on which Azuma Amsterdam bases its cuisine, but also a reference to the East of the Netherlands, where our chefs Mees Temminck and Yordi Floors started their careers. Mees and Yordi learned the trade together at the (among aficionados often known) restaurant Moskou, after which they moved to the kitchen of Amsterdam’s most popular Asian restaurant. Here they were able to put their love of Oriental cuisine into daily practice. Azuma Amsterdam embraces Eastern cuisine with a nod to French cuisine. Unique. Azuma Amsterdam consists of two private chefs who have a passion for Asian cuisine and only work with the very best products.
what we stand for
At Azuma Amsterdam, the product always comes first. We only work with products we stand behind 100% ourselves. If the daily supply of fresh fish is disappointing, we will switch gears to ensure that what we serve is 100% Azuma Amsterdam. Our dishes are Japanese/Asian with a small touch of French.
