The first thing you notice in this spacious, centrally located restaurant are the gorgeous sakura (cherry blossom) trees. In Japan these delicate flowers are a symbol of the ephemeral beauty of life. Inside, the stylish décor is superb and the sakura trees, which are many metres high, are simply fascinating. The staff are also excellent, tirelessly running around to greet each newcomer with a hearty welcome. However, the sushi itself is just average, which was a bit of a let down after such an impressive beginning.
