Sakura
About
This intimate Japanese spot sources carefully selected ingredients to execute the full spectrum of the cuisine—from precisely calibrated ramen broths and sushi rice to grilled yakitori and delicate tempura—with the kind of technical discipline that demands hands-on ownership. The sake program reflects genuine curation rather than generic selection, pairing bottles with both traditional small plates and seasonal specials that rotate based on what's available. Counter seating dominates the room, which means you're watching skilled prep work happen in real time, whether that's a sushi chef's knife work or a yakitori grill operator's timing.
