About Sakura Sushi
Discover the passion, tradition, and artistry behind every dish we serve. Our story is one of dedication to authentic Japanese cuisine and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Our Story
Founded in 2018, Sakura Sushi was born from a simple yet profound vision: to bring the authentic flavors and traditions of Japan to our local community. Our journey began when our founder, inspired by years of traveling through Japan and learning from master sushi chefs, decided to create a space where tradition meets innovation.
Every element of Sakura Sushi reflects our commitment to authenticity. From the carefully sourced ingredients flown in fresh from Japan's finest markets to the traditional techniques passed down through generations, we honor the art of sushi-making in its purest form.
Our restaurant is more than just a dining destination—it's a cultural bridge that connects our guests to the rich heritage of Japanese cuisine. We believe that every meal should be an experience, a moment of mindfulness where the beauty of simplicity meets the complexity of flavor.

Meet Master Chef Hiroshi Tanaka
With over 20 years of experience in the art of sushi-making, Chef Hiroshi Tanaka brings an unparalleled level of expertise and passion to Sakura Sushi. Born and raised in Tokyo, Chef Tanaka began his culinary journey at the age of 16 as an apprentice at the renowned Tsukiji Fish Market.
After completing his traditional seven-year apprenticeship under Master Chef Yamamoto at the prestigious Ginza Sushi-ko, Chef Tanaka spent several years perfecting his craft at various acclaimed establishments throughout Japan. His dedication to the ancient art of Edomae sushi preparation has earned him recognition from culinary institutions worldwide.
Chef Tanaka's philosophy centers on the belief that sushi is not just food, but a form of artistic expression. Each piece is carefully crafted with precision, respect for the ingredients, and an understanding of the delicate balance between rice, fish, and seasoning that defines exceptional sushi.
"Every grain of rice, every slice of fish tells a story," says Chef Tanaka. "My role is to honor that story and present it in its most beautiful form."
