We…read moreordered a cortado and a matcha latte and then an oatmeal cranberry cookie to share (the samples up front enticed us). The one staff person was welcoming and helpful. It was fun sitting at the counter, my husband reading and me trying to catch up on Yelp. People watching was great from that large window--so many people were commuting to school and work by bicycle--it seemed like 5 times as many bikes as cars, which is brilliant. Later ax we walked around, we noticed other Stach cafes around, but this one seems the roomiest and most hospitable and the others most suited for take away.

This small little shop offers all kinds of baked goods, candy, chips, bottled beverages, coffee, tea, and even some ice cream (although the flavours weren't anything that I currently wanted). The staff here was super nice and we ended up picking up multiple drinks, snacks, and the reason I'm mostly writing this little review, the big fluffy cookie I couldn't walk away from at the counter. This chocolate chip cookie was soft and crunchy at the same time, you know, the way a perfect cookie is, and it was delicious. Overall, Stach Foods is a clutch spot to stop at for a baked good and a drink and if you like fruity soft serve flavours, you gotta give those a try too.

I'll start by giving a shout out to a Staff member named Karen who was super helpful. The food here is mostly Japanese and Korean. There is a Kimchi section in the far left side from the entrance. They also have a great variety of sake and noodles, and fantastic section of mushrooms and bean sprouts - very well priced. They also have the Konjac noodles and the octopus balls - Takoyoki packs and an in-house small snack bar. Overall very stoked at all the Asian goodies found here, but did think it was a bit expensive. Be aware that discount seals are only for those food items that are coming close to their expiry date. I purchased a delicious seaweed snack that was discounted, only to discover when I got home that it's expired in two weeks from date of purchase (I had a lot of sushi rice for dinner during those two weeks!). I'll probably come back again, but the quest continues yes for a better priced place to get Asian grocery in Amsterdam. Yelp 202/ 2018

I love this little Japanese convenience store. Unlike other Asian shops, mostly Chinese in…read moreAmsterdam, this one is specifically Japanese and predominantly cary Japanese (food) items. They have a few dishes and bowls but I don't go there for that. They have things such as Japanese-specific produce like daikon, Japanese ice cream like green tea ice cream, variations of tea, chips, pancakes, seasoning, you name it! It's all Japanese and it's all a bit expensive. It's nice that it is available, though. However, not everything is (too) expensive. What makes me frequent this little shop is not their ridiculously priced Kare Raisu (Japanese style curry rice) mix by S&B, but it's their ONIGIRI!!!!! Wachucallmedog?! Onigiri, similar to the nigiri sushi, means rice ball. the "O" stands for BIG. Check out the pictures to see the triangular rice "ball". It's essentially delicious Japanese white rice, just like sushi rice, with some kind of a filling in the center and the whole thing is wrapped in crispy roasted seaweed. The packaging is so that the seaweed wrap doesn't touch the rice and become soggy before you open it. Genius. I love it! As far as I know Dank is the only place where they sell onigiri and I come here on my way to work/school to buy a few "balls". Great and healthy alternative to sandwiches. Quite filling too! Some of the fillings include: grilled salmon, seaweed salad (kelp), shrimp tempura, tuna and mayo and a few more. Most cost €1.50 but the one with kelp costs €1. I like the ones I just mentioned the most. It's definitely worth going out your way to buy a few of these for lunch or as a healthy snack so just do it and don't argue with me! You already read this review so far so get going!

This is the only Japanese grocery store in town after the other big one closed last week. I went to…read morecheck it out and found a store much smaller than I expected. It's only 2 short aisles of food, but they manage to pack in a decent selection of sauces, rice, candy, and snacks. And other stuff I didn't recognize, because I don't know what 90% of the stuff is supposed to be. :) I did find enough ingredients so I could make a seaweed salad at home, and I wish I had known about the rice balls thing, cuz I was wondering what those seaweed triangles were. I was looking for sushi in their prepared foods section but they didn't have any, only those triangles and prepared dishes with chicken and veggies. Oh, and 'donuts'. It wasn't until I got my stuff home that I discovered some of it was beyond its expiration date, like a package of dried seaweed sheets that expired 7 months ago. It's not a big deal, since it's just dried seaweed, but I would be sure to check the dates on stuff before you buy. The other half of the store has Japanese books and comic books, cleaning supplies, and kitchen tools like 195 euro rice cookers and pink metal oil holders. I'm spoiled by having access to Mitsuwa in Arlington Heights, Illinois for so many years. That Japanese mega store makes this place look paltry in comparison, but at least this is not 4000 miles away, so it will do for now. :)
