We hope you are doing well as the news of cherry blossom trees flowering all over Japan
has circulated and the peak of spring has finally arrived.

The blooming of sakura trees spans over a long period of time, slowly signaling the approach
of spring. It begins with the sakura trees in Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost island, spreads to Honshu, Japan’s main island, and proceeds to Hokkaido, the northernmost island. There are many arrangements of sakura trees that people can enjoy, from single trees nestled quietly in woodlands or magnificent rows of trees that line streets or rivers, to the various famous sakura viewing spots that are often bustling with people.

With sakura in full bloom, springtime fills the air with life and vitality and it becomes time to focus on regeneration and good health.

Here at HIGASHI-YAMA Tokyo, we will be offering a variety of dishes that incorporate fresh ingredients perfect for the season, such as spring vegetables and edible wild plants that will refresh both your body and spirit.

We are looking forward to your visit.

Chef Kazuki Watanabe
