Mumbai, April 08, 2025: As the captivating beauty of the cherry blossom season graces Japan, Hyatt Centric Juhu is bringing that bloom-time buzz straight to you. From April 11th to 25th, dive into the vibrant Sakura Matsuri 2025 at Sesame, their renowned Pan-Asian and Japanese restaurant. This two-week extravaganza promises to turn dinner into a two-week crash course in Japanese obsession with food that bites, drinks that spark, and the invigorating spirit of Tokyo’s spring.
The menu is where Sakura Matsuri shines. Every dish is a crafted nod to Japan’s spring, too special to skip. Straight out of Hanami street is Okonomiyaki, a thick pancake, laced with okonomiyaki sauce. Takoyaki’s crisp golden balls burst with molten octopus, dusted with bonito that dances in the heat. The light and crispy texture of the Fish Karage, with umeboshi dip, keeps you coming back for more. Indulge in the smoky perfection of Robata skewers, featuring delectable Tebasaki wings and rich Nappa Dengaku. The citrus-miso glazed Yuzu Miso Cod is a perfect balance of sweet and sharp. Don’t forget the beloved Katsu Curry, where a crunchy cutlet meets a velvety, spiced gravy, creating comfort in every bite and the bold and juicy Shogayaki’s pork that sizzles in soy-ginger glaze. Sushi lovers will delight in the New Age Gunkan and Rainbow Maki, which burst with freshness. A 7-course tasting menu at INR 2000++ (taxes extra) stitches it all together. And of course, dessert is a grand finale. Indulge in the Matcha Raspberry Mousse, where ceremonial matcha meets zesty lemon marmalade and luscious raspberry compote. The Hazelnut Chocolate Chantilly layers rich milk chocolate ganache with crunchy hazelnut goodness, while Suki introduces delightful waffle cones filled with very berry ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate, offering a sweet ending that feels as rare as the blossoms of spring.
When it comes to dazzling drinks, the Tokyo Rose takes center stage with its enchanting blend of cherry gin, maraschino liqueur, and yuzu, all elegantly crowned with sparkling wine. But don’t miss the Matcha Sour, a delightful mix of Japanese gin, yuzu, honey syrup, matcha powder, and a touch of egg white—each sip is a celebration of flavor. The Oishi Cocktail, featuring both Matcha and Bonsai Bloom, alongside the Mount Fuji Fizz, captures the fleeting joy of the season in every refreshing taste.
But that’s not all. Guests can immerse themselves in a trio of unique, hands-on experiences that celebrate Japanese culture. The Matcha Making Ceremony invites participants to explore the art of preparing traditional matcha, guided by experts who share the serene rituals and techniques behind this iconic green tea. For those with a creative spark, Canvas Painting offers a chance to craft vibrant, cherry blossom-inspired artwork, blending personal expression with the festival’s floral theme. Origami Making brings the timeless Japanese art of paper folding to life, allowing attendees to transform simple sheets into intricate designs under the guidance of skilled instructors.
This isn’t merely food—it’s a heartfelt tribute to Sakura’s soul, artfully plated with precision and passion. Reserve your table and experience blossoming flavors that truly evoke the spirit of the season!
