One of the coolest authentic Japanese Kaiseki restaurant in the Netherlands. I chose 6 course meal. It was a perfect amount for me.
What’s so special about this restaurant is that every single sauce they use is special. They taste all better than what you expect. Nothing is too salty, but nothing is boring.
I really like the doneness of salmon and duck too. Perfectly cooked. Again, the sauce on top was perfect.
I like the portion of the Tempura dish. More of them would have been too much. It was a good combination of shrimp tempura and vegetable ones.
Highly recommend here, and will definitely come back here this year.

I would give the dining experience here a 4 star in general, but the food itself is a 3/5. I came here with more expectation that what it is. We ordered a tsuki menu with 6 courses menu, came home with a full stomach. Talking about the flavor, it is kinda decreasing over each course. The starter with three small dishes gave a good refreshing taste and introduction to Japanese cusine. Next is sashimi, fresh and flavorful. Then we get baked fish (dorado) in sweet soy sauce I think. This is okay but a bit overlap in flavor with the final main dish (beef with teriyaki sauce) also a sweet soy sauce with mirin & sake. This is where I think they can do something better in arranging the dishes. Tempura between fish and meat dish is not bad. Desserts with houjicha panna cotta, a small scoup of matcha ice cream, red bean pudding cake and some thinly sliced fruit is not really balanced after some steak with teriyaki sauce. The panna cotta is not that good yet the roasted tea flavor is there, ice cream okay but pudding cake a no. Overall I would say everything is still there but they do not really reach their maximum capacity…
All the staff lady are really nice taking care of all the guests, love this!
P/s some wine there are outstanding, yuzu shu and ume wine are top choices, good paring with fish dish

Fine dinner in a cozy restaurant located on the first floor of a beautiful old building. Nice for a quiet Japanese dining experience. The mix of starters were surprising and refreshing. The hake fish was extremely enjoyful. Lobster tempura was lacking a bit of flavor. We ordered the Hana menu with lobster of the day so expected something more impressive. Black angus and dessert were great! Very friendly host.

Having dined at Shiro for over 20 years, starting from my primary school days, I can confidently say that the restaurant has consistently upheld a level of quality that never disappoints.
In today’s economy, enjoying a 5-course menu for €58 is a great value for money. You will undoubtedly leave feeling full and satisfied.
The Japanese amuses are a standout for me, offering something unique that you rarely encounter in other Japanese restaurants in the Netherlands. Unless you dine at other authentically Japanese-owned businesses.
For those who assume Shiro is limited to raw fish, you’re in for a surprise. Their menu features deliciously prepared cooked meats and fish dishes.
*As for à la carte options, the Duck with teriyaki sauce is a personal favorite and highly recommended.
*The owner and host of the restaurant is also always ever so elegant! And the staff is very attentive.

It’s just a fantastic experience overall. The food, ambience and service make me feel to be in Japan for a brief moment again… They even have a classic window A/C!

Came here to try the monthly menu which is served before 8 pm.
Food is worth the price they are asking for.
Flavors are authentic and ingredients are very fresh.
Worth going.

I wanted to eat more not because I was hungry but I wanted to taste more. Delicate flavours, super service and small intimate atmosphere.

My enquiry was dealt with in a way that struck the right balance — respectful, timely, and without unnecessary complication. It may not have been an elaborate exchange, but it showed attentiveness and a willingness to handle things properly, which is exactly what one hopes for when reaching out to a business. That kind of straightforward professionalism earns a steady four stars in my book.

Food was oke, but not wow to much sauce on the steak
But for the price can’t complain! Sushi was fresh and the sashimi as well.

Was overall average, it tasted good but just not worth the price at all. Ingredients used, presentation and taste was all just average which really doesn’t justify how much we paid for that evening. As other comments mentioned, the food we got was food comparable to other all you can eat sushi places.
I have to say though the service was good and the restaurant is run by Japanese people which was very authentic- just disappointed in the ingredients used in the dishes and the taste for the price paid.
