Sakura Sushi

The minimalist space, designed by renowned Japanese architect Hiroshi Nakamura, creates a peaceful atmosphere for enjoying meticulously crafted Japanese cuisine. Natural materials including hinoki wood, river stones, and washi paper screens define the space, while creating distinct dining areas from the intimate sushi counter to semi-private tatami rooms.

Master Sushi Chef Kenji Yamamoto brings over 30 years of experience from Tsukiji Market in Tokyo and Vancouver's finest Japanese restaurants. His commitment to authenticity and premium ingredients ensures an exceptional dining experience, with fish flown in daily from Japanese and Pacific Northwest markets.
