Sakura season returns to London at the Shochu Lounge in ROKA Charlotte Street with a spectacular and fully-immersive cherry blossom installation and a Sakura-inspired cocktail menu.

Dine on ROKA’s signature Japanese-inspired cuisine underneath a glowing blanket of blossom. The return of the cherry blossom installation to Shochu this year has taken the concept even further, with a stunning canopy of cherry blossom covering the entire ceiling of the basement bar. There is also the playful addition of pale pink neon lighting throughout the display highlighting the delicate blooms and enhancing the ambience of the bar.

Shochu is adorned with pink-tinted sakura (until June) paying homage to the Japanese practice of Hanami, the enjoyment and viewing of the transient beauty of flowers. The installation has been created by Veevers Carter, an events agency specialising in vibrant floral designs. For the duration of the installation, Shochu is open during lunch times on Saturday and Sunday only.
