Sakurado - It’s All About Authenticity | ||||
Pop in and enjoy their bento and cakes, together with fine Japanese teas
SAKURADO is newly established brand of hand crafted Japanese cakes for all occasions, found on Putney Bridge Road. At Sakurado, it’s all about authenticity. Kayoko, our Japanese chef, works on our premises with ingredients from Japan to create cakes and bento that will appeal to the epicurean in us all. It can be washed down with our green tea from Kyoto, or other fine Japanese teas we stock. Sakurado means House of Sakura (Japanese cherry blossom), and can be taken to mean both a formal discipline and an informal canteen. Kayoko grew up near the banks of Nishiki River, where the sakura flourish and are framed by the famous Kintaikyo bridge. There she would help her mother bake cakes to entertain her friends at home. Kayoko missed those Japanese cakes when she arrived in London 13 years ago. Less sweet than Western cakes, they have a wonderful texture and melt in the mouth. The matcha mille crepe is our signature dish, and is as lovely to the eye as to the mouth. Kayoko has been baking at home for friends since she arrived in London. Now, at the Sakurado kitchen, she will bake for all. And she has helped us create the ultimate bento boxes, with that attention to detail which is hard to find outside of Japan. Please come to Sakurado and enjoy our bento and cakes, together with fine Japanese teas. |
