I love Japanese food. Probably this is the reason why Sakura became one of my favourites restaurants in Cork since I arrived here. So charming atmosphere, small tables, and sakura flowers everywhere... Yes, this is the kind of place that you won’t get tired of.

Sakura is a Japanese restaurant, not a vegan one, but they have some interesting vegan options. The staff will bring you hot green tea right after giving you the menu, so nice detail, I really appreciate it.

When it comes to Japanese restaurants, I always order the miso soup, I find it so warming and tasteful, the perfect beginning for a good dinner. Well, Sakura has also the vegetarian miso soup. Starting from sushi, the menu includes some vegan nigiri and hosomaki. The vegetarian futomaki comes in 8 pieces, and it’s made with avocado, cucumber, carrots, oshinko, kanpyo and shii-take mushroom. It’s really good and perfect to share. Some side dishes that I enjoyed were the eggplant dengaku, edamame and wakame salad. There are also a few main vegan dishes, as ramen, udon, tofu... I’m curious about the vegan katsu curry, I think I will order them next time.
