Amstelveen: the municipality with the largest Japanese community in the Netherlands

At the start of 2025, Amstelveen already had 1,777 Japanese residents, the second-largest non-Dutch community in the municipality. This community saw slight growth again in 2026.

Amstelveen is sometimes referred to by residents as "Japan on the Amstel," and for good reason. At the start of 2025, the municipality already counted 1,777 Japanese residents, according to the official population figures from the municipality. In 2026, this community remained the second-largest non-Dutch group in the city and grew slightly again (Municipality of Amstelveen, 2026 population figures). This explains why you can find Japanese supermarkets, restaurants, and an annual Japan festival in Amstelveen.

This presence of authentic Japanese culture makes Amstelveen a logical place for people looking for real ceremonial matcha, not the diluted powder you might encounter in some tea shops. Our matcha comes from a partner farm in Kagoshima and is from the first harvest. You can read more about why origin and harvest timing are so decisive in our article on buying Kagoshima matcha.

Diemen: a young, fast-growing municipality next to Amsterdam

Diemen grew from 23,078 residents in 1995 to 33,327 in 2026, an increase of 44 percent. About a third of its residents are between 25 and 45 years old.

Diemen borders directly on Amsterdam-Oost and Amsterdam Zuidoost and has grown significantly over the past decades: from 23,078 residents in 1995 to 33,327 in 2026 (AlleCijfers.nl, Diemen municipal data), an increase of 44 percent. Notably, the age demographic is skewed: about a third of the residents fall into the 25 to 45 age group, exactly the demographic that often discovers matcha as an alternative to coffee.

Why buying matcha online is smarter than going to the supermarket

In both Amstelveen and Diemen, the matcha you find in the supermarket is usually culinary grade: coarser, more bitter, and intended for things like baking or smoothies.
