Exciting News from Masa
(Japanese Kitchen SAKURA)

​Hello everyone,
​As many of you know, Japanese Kitchen SAKURA is currently in the middle of moving to a brand-new location! I am working hard to get the new shop ready for you as soon as possible.
​However, I’ve been missing the joy of cooking for my customers.
Many of you have asked, "Where can we enjoy your food while you’re between locations?"
​I have some exciting news!
​While I prepare the new restaurant, I have decided to bring the "SAKURA experience" directly to your home. I will be launching a limited-time Private Chef Service very soon.
​Imagine having a professional Japanese chef in your own kitchen, preparing a customized dinner for your family or friends — and yes, I’ll take care of the cleaning too!
​Stay tuned for more details on menus and how to book. I can't wait to see you all again!
​Best regards,
​Masa
