Why Sakura
Four reasons guests choose Sakura over fusion cafés.
Ocha Cafe Sakura inside Books Kinokuniya at The Galleria, Abu Dhabi — our main tea café. Kyusu-brewed green tea, matcha and wagashi in a Japanese bookstore setting. Our RAK kitchen supports sweets production and online orders.
Matcha and green tea flown direct from Japan — fresh, aromatic, and true to the source. Brewed in a kyusu at our tables. Selected for cultivation, leaf quality, and flavour — not brand name alone.
Family recipes, real wagashi, and Japanese craft — not trend, not fusion. Michiyo Chiba opened the UAE's pioneer tea house, and the standard has not shifted. Honkaku — 本格 — the real thing.
Years of hands-on experience with tea production in Shizuoka — cultivation, steaming, processing, and quality assessment. We choose every tea for aroma, balance, and daily enjoyment.
