A small Japanese kitchen bringing
home-style meals to Colorado Springs.
Sakura Bistro is a small kitchen sharing the gentle warmth of everyday Japanese home cooking. Our rice bowls, light curry, and fresh sides are made with simple ingredients, clean flavors, and a handmade broth—meals that feel easy on the body and comforting to the heart. With a small menu and careful preparation, we serve warm food quickly so even busy days can have a moment of calm. The flavors are familiar and honest, like a home kitchen in Japan. Inside, bright natural wood and nostalgic Japanese music create a soft, welcoming space where you can slow down and feel at ease.
Traditional way
At Sakura Bistro, we cook the way Japanese home kitchens do—slowly, gently, and with care. We draw out the full potential of each ingredient through honest preparation and simple, steady techniques. Our dashi and broth are made daily, simmered patiently to build natural umami and depth. This quiet effort is what gives our dishes their warm, familiar flavor, the kind you would find in a Japanese home.
Mission
Japanese food is well known for sushi and ramen, but our approach is a little different. We focus on healthier, everyday dishes—the kind of simple, gentle meals that people in Japan enjoy at home. Our space is designed with warm natural wood to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere.
Across the Pacific, in the heart of this Olympic city, we’ve recreated the feeling of a real Japanese home kitchen. We invite you to step into this little world and enjoy a quiet moment of comfort.
