Japanese & Rastafarian Soul Food Is Amsterdam's Best Kept Secret

Japanese & Rastafarian Soul Food Is Amsterdam's Best Kept Secret

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Tucked away in an alley in one of Amsterdam s most circus-like areas, there s a small family restaurant serving Caribbean and Japanese soul food according to Rastafarian principles. Izaba and Tomomi started TerraZen Centre together after living in Tokyo for 25 years, and combine their backgrounds with dishes like vegan jerk, karaage, and crunchy dragon rolls. Regardless of its chaotic surroundings, people find their way to this vegan utopia by an organic pull. Wen: Soul Food refers specifically to Black American cuisine created by those African-descendant people enslaved in what is now the Southern part of the United States of America. West Indian/ Caribbean food is NOT Soul Food. Calling the food made by this couple soul food is cultural smudging that borders on cultural appropriation. Soul Food is rooted in a specific history created by a specific people who hail from a specific geographical region and is NOT a term that refers to food created by anyone with a black face.

What an interesting, open-minded, and vibrant couple. As an expat myself who has lived abroad for the bulk of the last 12 years, I really appreciate the mashup of cultures. Food looks great too! I'll mark it down for the next time I'm in Amsterdam.

These two are some of the most fascinating people I've ever seen. I am US stateside and getting to Amsterdam is prohibitively expensive for me, but I very much hope to eat their food someday. What an enchanting pair.

there's a legendary restaurant in Vancouver as well that is Japanese Carribean food run by a couple of mixed descent. Called the Lions Den, it's a Vancouver staple.

Even though I can't give up meat, I would love a place like this where I live. Would be nice to have more options when I take breaks from eating meat.

If this shop is around the corner from the old Grey Area Coffee shop it used to be a really good breakfast joint in the late 90's!
