("IMPORTANT NOTE: The following information is about the 2011 festival. Information about the 2012 festival will be uploaded no later than March 1, 2012.)

Food! It’s one of the best things about Sakura Matsuri. Our visitors find it hard to resist the smell and taste of the many kinds of food that Sakura Matsuri offers.

This year we have more restaurants and food vendors than ever – with 30 outlets selling Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, and Western food. (The list of restaurants is below.)

There are also two Kirin Ichiban Beer Gardens, with Japan’s best draft beer on tap. Kirin, which traces its roots to 1870, is Japan’s best-selling beer and has been a favorite of Sakura Matsuri visitors since it became the official beer in 2007. *

Hakutsuru Sake, one of Japan’s most famous sake brewers (founded in 1743), is again sponsoring the Sakura Matsuri’s Sake Tasting Pavilion. Come in and learn all about  Japanese sake as you sample six different varieties of sake from Nada, “the Napa Valley of Japanese Sake.”*

Three Matsuri Markets sell a wide variety of soft drinks from Coca-Cola and Honest Tea, as well as Japanese snacks

* Drink responsibly! A 100% ID check will be enforced.
