And white mulberry tea!!! ”

“ Passing by this cute little shop from the inner sunset flea market. Interesting products from Japan and Korea. The origini was nice too! Quite big chuck of salmon. ”
“ I have been a customer of Sakura for several years even though I dont live in the neighborhood. The couple that runs the store are the epitome of good services ways welcoming people as guests and serving them with a smile. The store boasts a selection of reasonably prices imported goods from Asia and the Pacific islands as well as boutique offerings. I nearly always find something for myself or as a gift. I especially love their selection of insulated bags that they get from Hawaii I use them as gift bags all the time. They always have a new selection each time I visit. The prices for nearly everything are reasonable to great. I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the 9th Irving area the shop is a joy to visit! ”
“ Finally tried the food from the new Sakura! This is toplevel Japanese cooking! Everything is so delicious, so flavorful, so thoughtful, so subtle. Two of my Japanese girlfriends and I got mini bento boxes. We were sooooooooooo happy. They are not so mini its a great meal. Everything was cooked perfectly. Nothing tasted too much of dashi, soy sauce or sugar, but somehow each element was so flavorful, so delicious, and so Japanese!!! There was great variety of flavor, texture and color. It comes in a compostable container, too. I also tried the veggie curry bowl which comes in a microwaveable container and it was full of veggies, comforting, and delicious. The pickled onion on top is just the right contrast. Chicken katsu sandwich was simple and delicious, with just a hint of tonkatsu sauce and a such thinly shredded cabbage. I would say this is as good as my grandmother made, but my grandmother was not nearly as beautiful a cook as this. Bento boxes seem to sell out after lunch time. Im already planning to bring bento boxes to work on days where the schedule works out. The store part is sparse, but has the essentials, Japanese treats and Japanese grocerypantry items. They had a very good brand of soy sauce which I will bring to family friends as a gift. All in all, a welcome addition to the city! No more driving to Japan town for disappointing bento from the grocery there! Looking forward to trying karaage and cakes!! ”
“ This cute neighborhood shop has different homemade Japanese dishes made fresh every day bentos, onigiri, curries, katsu sandwiches, just to name a few. Ive been coming here every day and havent gotten tired of it yet. Everyone who works here is super friendly. So lucky to have them in the neighborhood!! ”
