Spring time in London often involves hesitantly tracking the weather and/or forcing yourself to wrap up in a scarf. But there’s one part of spring that all Londoners love…the return of the cherry blossom.


There’s nothing like those little pink petals to put a smile on our faces and ROKA is celebrating cherry blossom season in the prettiest way possible! The award winning Japanese robata (Japanese BBQ) restaurant reopens their Sakura cherry blossom lined installation today and it truly looks stunning!

If drinking in a beautiful, Japanese-inspired setting wasn’t enough, guests can also sample some bespoke Suntory Whiskey filled delights from their Sakura-inspired cocktail menu. Sip on a Sakura Sour mixed with kumquats and peach or keep it classy with a Cask Old Fashioned, made with sherry and plum sake.

Guests can experience all the wonders of a Japanese cherry blossom garden without having to leave Charlotte Street — and can also dine on the full ROKA menu in their basement bar, Shochu too.

The Sakura installation runs from today till the 7th June.
