Celebrate Sakura Season at Miku

In Japan, the season of cherry blossoms (sakura) is celebrated by gathering friends and family together and having a meal or drink underneath the blossoming trees.

To honour this tradition, we have created our special sakura feature menu, complete with sakura themed beverages, coursed menu, and dessert.

Kokuryu Junmai Ginjo

Fukui-based Kokuryu brewery has just arrived into Canada, with limited quantities! Using 55% local Gohyakumangoku (the second most popular sake rice in Japan), this junmai ginjo sake is rich in flavour while retaining a lightness in the mouth. A very pleasant surprise, considering that Fukui is famous for its soft water! Along with its complex notes of stone fruit and apple,  this beautiful sake is fresh and elegant, yet dry on the finish.

Sakura Aburi Prime Kaiseki

To celebrate the cherry blossom season, our chefs have meticulously created a special version of our signature coursed menu: The Sakura Aburi Prime Kaiseki.
Indulge in the blossoming festivities with our Chilled Chawanmushi amuse bouche, deluxe three-tiered Kaiseki Trio, and, of course, our signature Sakura Aburi Prime. Finish the evening off with our chewy Handmade Sakura Mochi, served with a perfect quenelle of tart cherry yogurt sorbet.
