Katsu Coffeeshop Amsterdam by AdventuresInEurope.com

[1Stratcat56]

I miss Amsterdam so much... my first trip was early ninety's and it was when their money was still Guilda's I brought three grand with me and at the time one US dollar was two gilda. I couldn't even spend all I had . I spent two weeks and went from shop to shop and would hit the museums inbetween.The people are so great and the weed was so good I didn't want to come home. It was when super shunk and Northen lights were winning all the competition's.

[iHipHopIsNotDead]

@1Stratcat56

haha, the Gulden was a nice currency! fuck the euro

[daGummy]

lol had to laugh when she said northern lights is a nice haze^^ northern lights is a skunk selection and because of that its a hybrid and definetly no sativa especially no haze

[EnricoAmsterdam]

Good place, good stuff!!

[EJ791]

katsu is awesome.

[xXJillyBeanXx]

I've been here. Such a lovely little place. <3 I hope I can go back to katzu someday.

[leomollon123]

[nintendowii2k8]

[LimeCross]

[superNicko007]

sorry, but im from canada, and i am just wondering the price they charge for that fine shit

[adventuresineurope]

@superNicko007 10-20 a euros a gram : ) The hazes usually are the most expensive.

[bigsmoke53]

Man... those people look so happy and shit. Smh, but in America we all look like a bunch of depressed fucks who just put on a smile cause if we don't society will think we're douche bags.

[DidguriDoo]

any1 know if they still got OG18 on menu..Best smoke you find here!!! n Sogouda is so gooda!

[rebeccaskye]

Good Drug video here - take a look

[Chief2Buddah]

the real must-smoke used to be GOLDEN SAGE but they have plenty of nice strains!

katsu is the place, let's keep it local .

PEACE

[adventuresineurope]

@Chief2Buddah Golden Sage sounds nice, I will be on the lookout for some. Thanks for the comments.

[StraightfromdaMV420]

@adventuresineurope

Maybe go to Rotterdam or Den Haag it is not that expensive there :O

[DiRtYLaWs2007]

I've been here! Smoked some great weed, I think it was called "Sage" or something. Great music, friendly staff. 

[adventuresineurope]

@DiRtYLaWs2007 Katsu is a great Coffeeshop with excellent gear. It's mainly a locals shop.

[DiRtYLaWs2007]

@adventuresineurope Yeah that's why I like it so much - Most of the coffee shops in central Amsterdam are just overpriced tourist traps but this place is very welcoming, even to a big ugly English guy like me!!! Thanks for the reply.

[butcher809]

Ha ha yes I the good old damski my faves are hunters,grey area and bushdoctor my best buds were g13 haze strawberry haze and vanilla Kush :)

[ChewUpz]

oh sweet im going there soon.. goin to be so cool

[kennyk2007]

The weedaty katsu aren't so fresh.

All fresh coffeeshop products aren't prepacked in those small bags.

Only bulldog, katsu, and other shops who aren't interested in winning cannabis cup.

[Alkmaarluc]

@cricket12356

[cricket12356]

[adventuresineurope]

@cricket12356 You must be 18 to enter Dutch coffeeshops. I'm not sure about the drinking age, i'm thinking 18 also.

[antirasict245]

@adventuresineurope I was in amsterdam when i was 15, and i looked like I could be . I could not smoke pot. But did drink alot, the driking limit is 16, and they never check ID.

[antirasict245]

@adventuresineurope I went to amsterdam when i was 15. I could not smoke Pot :( But i did drink everyday. The driking limit is 16 when it comes to beer and wine. Spirit is 18

[iSH3LToNzX]

[adventuresineurope]

@iSH3LToNzX You must ask for permission : )

[ganjabusdutch]

@adventuresineurope 16 for alcohol under 17 vol and 18 for above it

[TabloidUltra]

@adventuresineurope The age for drinking is 16 if it's under 15 percent. above 15 percent it's 18

[WhoKilledMickeyMouse]

@cricket12356 you can buy beer, but weed and hard alcohol are a no-go

[Graffidude]

@cricket12356 you must be 16 to drink beers and stuff.. avove 40% alcohol you must be 18.

[dizafatslag]

@cricket12356

The drinking age is 16 for beer and 18 for spirits (alcohol over a certain percentage).

[trollfinger]

@cricket12356

18 for smoking pot and drinking hard liquor, and you can drink beer at 16.

[iluvteaverymuch]

@cricket12356 16 for beer/wine, 18 for coffeeshops and strong alcoholic drinks.

[DidguriDoo]

[adventuresineurope]

@darkmysterii The Amnesia Haze is a really great strain. I can't remember if I picked up some from my last visit to Yellow Mellow. I'll be sure to check it our on my next trip.

[xxjonkoxx]

Haze Amnesia is really my type of weed!

And white widow has the best taste in weed in my opinion.

[adventuresineurope]

@xxjonkoxx I like them both very much. the Amnesia Haze is quite popular..

[Vintagecasio]

[adventuresineurope]

@MegadethPWNMetallica The Northern lights works well for me. It's a perfect match for me. : )

[refuckulate420]

@adventuresineurope

I thought NL is indica dominant...I do prefer indica myself, or a nice hybrid.

[KingDre911]

@adventuresineurope Oh ok, thanks

[KingDre911]

What is that instrumental song in the background of all these videos? Or is it just something made for these vids

[adventuresineurope]

@KingDre911 It comes from sound loop libraries. (Digital Juice)

[fatterheadder]

its cold but its warm,great place to visit for a smoke.go an enjoy.

[westie420uk]

I love the Lavender from Katsu!

[FrancoisMichael1]

Big D, we might go over the week before Christmas. Have you ever been during this time of the year? The photos look most festive. The downside is it's supposed to be their rainiest month, and coldest.

[adventuresineurope]

@FrancoisMichael1 I was there in January some time ago, It was super cold. I don't know if I can handle that kind of cold again. I've been quite spoiled being from California. : ) D

[FrancoisMichael1]

Just saw the vid where you show the ease of the ATM over there. That seems like the way to go. Might be less dodgy to not use my card anywhere. Thanks Man!

[adventuresineurope]

@FrancoisMichael1 You are welcome my friend.

[FrancoisMichael1]

Big D. Love your vids. Do you suggest cash only when paying for goods? Or is charge/debit card kosher?

[adventuresineurope]

@FrancoisMichael1 For the most part I use cash, but many establishments accept credit cards. I think most coffeeshops only accepts cash.

[darkmysterii]

its all fun to see that thousands of foreigners are here in holland just for smoking

From holland with Smoke

[proudtobedutch100]

i love my country

[rottuhaus]

Very very nice video, good samples!  Must have been awesome to smoke :)

[adventuresineurope]

@rottuhaus It most certainly is a great coffeeshop. One of my favorites for sure... D

[bigbore010]

this is the best coffeeshop of the netherlands, believe me. the kush here is awsome :P

[adventuresineurope]

@bigbore010 I agree with you on that my friend : ) Thanks. D

[laconchita12]

how much did it cost?

[adventuresineurope]

@laconchita12 I think about 10 euros. D

[Cache069]

@adventuresineurope For a gram?

[adventuresineurope]

@Cache069 Yes.

[rvanklooster]

You can see on her face that the woman smoked to much of them weedz

[PiratedComedy]

@rvanklooster Just like bakery owners tend to be on the larger side. They enjoy their work. :)

[Jimbei420]

is there like a list of must visit coffee shops?!

[adventuresineurope]

@Jimbei420 I have seen a few lists over the years. My suggestions would be to check out both Damprkings, any of the Greenhouses, Barney's, Rookies and Amnesia. Then relax in one of the less touristy shops like Paradox, Katsu and Media. I also like Bluebird, Stix and Anyday. D

[Jimbei420]

@adventuresineurope thanks man! im going to holland in august and this info is really helpful! you should also try visiting coffeeshops outside of amsterdam. there is one in gorinchem called De Vrolijke Gaper! probably one of the best in holland!

[adventuresineurope]

@Jimbei420 Cool, thanks for the suggestion. We'll try to make the trip... D

[jenn606]

I would love to tour Amsterdam coffee shops with Big D!!! I live in Boston and would love to travel to Amsterdam but I don't know anyone there. Big D help!!!

[adventuresineurope]

@jenn606 Amsterdam is a friendly place with many travelers from all over the world. I have met so many nice people during my travels to Amsterdam. You will most definately find that amsterdam is a friendly town... Thanks for the comments... D

[mrhoihoi]

@adventuresineurope kinda funny that every teenager in america wants to smoke weed in amsterdam, when, here in holland, most kids grow over that feeling after they are 18

[adventuresineurope]

@mrhoihoi The fact that it is illegal/forbidden is probably the reason for that. I know of many grown men and women that wish to go to Amsterdam also... A friend of mine told me he has been wanting to go to Amsterdam since the 70's... D

[mrhoihoi]

@adventuresineurope yeah;) well here you have ofcourse adults who smoke weed, but when you do not, it's kinda immature, you know. when you're 15, 16, then you should have the urge of smoking weed, but most of the time, people grow over it. there's only one simple solution: legalize it?;)

[adventuresineurope]

@mrhoihoi Yes legalize it... We going for that in November here in California... D

[xxjonkoxx]

Weed is so freakin normal for us here in the netherlands.

But you, you look like a kid standing in a candy store!

Haha kinda funny! hope you enjoyed your smoke!

[adventuresineurope]

@xxjonkoxx I did enjoy my smoke very much. Katsu is a great shop! D

[wheelwatcher420]

[adventuresineurope]

[justinus88]

so what do u say to the geeza behind the counter? do u jus walk right up n ask 4 an 8th of the finest like i would ask for a beer in a bar?

[technoculture1]

yes, its just normal here in holland.

you can even walk to a cop and ask him to lite it.

[iscream22]

Do coffeeshops take legit travellers checks? Or do they only take euros/gilders (gonna be my first visit in the fall)

[adventuresineurope]

They take Euros, some may accepts chip cards or credit cards. D

[xzaz2]

Take euro's, it much easier :)

[450rable]

hahh she kept it straight with the northern lights lol

[450rable]

is it still legal to smoke bud there?

[adventuresineurope]

Yes, absolutely! I prefer the vaporizer myself... D

[xzaz2]

Yes use your brain :)

[mcpito]

haha ,funny 2 see! Big D you seems like a great guy..i am from nederland, not from amsterdam but nijmegen a other city..most amaricans only know amsterdam and thinks its just in amsterdam,or think that amsterdam is nederland but its not..In olmost every city you got coffeeshops and red light districs..some time i here usa politics talk sjit about nederland and amsterdam becauce we can do those thinks..Its a shame..visit and you will see that it is more positif then negativ.., So Big up 2 Big D

[adventuresineurope]

God bless the Katsu

[adventuresineurope]

Yes, bless the Katsu! Thanks for sharing your magical experience. D

[jiggybilly]
