桜亭
Sakura-tei

A quiet room and a careful knife. Seasonal omakase built on the discipline of simplicity — nothing more than the moment requires.

Nigiri sushi arranged on a dark stone plate
献立 — tonight's counter

We cook for the season, not the menu — what arrives at dawn decides the plate by dusk.

Twelve seats face the counter. Each course is set by hand, in its own time, and tasted before it is served.
