While the food at Sakura is undeniably impressive, the restaurant itself holds deeper significance. Located in Roppongi, within the historic International House of Japan, this restaurant is part of a long tradition of cultural exchange and intellectual dialogue. The IHJ was established in 1952 with a mission to promote cultural and intellectual cooperation between Japan and the world.
Designed by prominent architects Maekawa Kunio, Sakakura Junzo, and Yoshimura Junzo, the building is celebrated for its elegant yet functional design, blending modern architectural principles with traditional Japanese aesthetics. The garden, which changes with the seasons, becomes a sea of cherry blossoms in the spring—a sight that regular patrons eagerly anticipate.
As we sat in the restaurant, thoroughly enjoying the meal and exchanging stories, I got to reflect on my companion’s quiet strength that’s been instrumental in navigating her career. As the afternoon stretched on, I realized that places like the IHJ’s Sakura Restaurant offer more than just fine dining—they provide a space for reflection, for important conversations, and for moments that deserve to be savored, much like the meal we enjoyed that day.
For those traveling to Tokyo and seeking not just a meal but an experience that’s historical, cultural, and highlighted by culinary expertise, Sakura offers a perfect escape. And while the view may be what initially draws many visitors in, it’s the food that keeps them coming back.
