Sakura & Hanami
Some traditions happen under a tree. Ours happen around a table.
For centuries, Japan has welcomed spring with Hanami — “flower viewing.” Friends and families gather to share food, raise a glass, and savour the fleeting beauty of sakura blossoms. At Sushi Garden Restaurants, we bring that spirit indoors: calm rooms, sharing plates, bright flavours — a gentle pause to enjoy the moment while it lasts.
