Experiences

  • Cherry Blossom "Sakura" Experience

    Multiple dates available
    Celebrate the beauty of spring and the centuries-old Japanese tradition of celebrating cherry blossoms in the spirit of hanami at Sake No Hana. The restaurant will transform with the fleeting elegance of cherry blossoms into a breathtaking homage to Japan's cherished sakura season, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience available now through mid-April. Indulge in a selection of ephemeral dishes featuring vibrant spring produce, seasonal items like tempura soft shell crab and traditional assortments of wagashi—decadent, intricately-decorated exquisite Japanese desserts—all here for a limited time, just like Sakura season. To complement the experience, a curated selection of rare seasonal sake from Japan will be on offer to enhance every moment and celebrate the true beauty of the season.

    This Mother’s Day, give Mom a taste of Japan—no passport required. For one night only, we’re opening our doors on a Sunday — a rare and meaningful exception made just to celebrate her. Typically closed on Sundays, we invite you to experience our unforgettable menu for a celebration that promises a dining experience as exceptional as Mom herself. For this special occasion, our Culinary Team has created an exclusive Mother’s Day Omakase experience featuring a composed platter offering the freshest fish flown in from Toyosu Market and abroad, alongside domestic varieties, as part of a chef-selected tasting of sushi, rolls, nigiri and temaki. End your evening with a sweet treat — our special Strawberry Crepe Cake, delicately layered with vanilla cream and Japanese strawberries. Available exclusively on Mother’s Day. To complement the meal, our Sake Sommelier will curate a premium sake selection just for you, available by the half glass, carafe, or bottle—for toasting the incredible women being honored.

    What an unforgettable experience! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, but what truly set this place apart was the thoughtful care and inclusivity. The sensory bag was such a touching and helpful gesture—we’ve never been to a restaurant that offered such meaningful assistance for our disabled daughter. We felt seen, supported, and so grateful. Celebrating her 18th birthday here made it all the more special. Thank you for making it a day we’ll always remember.

    What an insanely fresh and delicious night out. Especially right off the J train. I was amazed at the vibes and overall deliciousness of every item we ordered. From the potato chips to the sushi to the sake. You just put trust in the kitchen and can’t go wrong.

    Honestly I’ve been dying to try this place for the longest time and finally had a girls night out where I was able to and I’ve been to dozens and dozens of high class and all of the aesthetic trending restaurants and I was genuinely impressed with this one. Not only was the ambiance nice and service was fabulous but the food was (no exaggeration) phenomenal. We ordered so much thinking the portions were small like nobu but we for sure got our moneys worth. Overall 10/10 I actually look forward to returning with other friends

    the staff were lovely and very attentive, but there was no tasting menu as advertised in many places online. We had to order off the regular menu, which was fine, except the food was mediocre at best and overpriced. I’ve told friends to save their $ and head else where. But once again, the staff were great and the space was pleasant. EDIT: The management team said they’d like to reach out to me and replied that publicly. I responded to them with my email and said they were welcome to reach out - 2 weeks later no outreach.
