The Japanese restaurant is preparing the beautiful dishes for sakura season, or as most know it, cherry blossom season — which happens in the spring.

40,000 cherry trees will bloom in Vancouver this sakura season and it's the perfect time to celebrate with these sushi dishes. It makes the dreamy season that much better — and tastier!

Chef Tojo has also made up some seasonal Omakase Experiences which include Sakura Gozen Omakase or Tojo's Ultimate Omakase.

Both culinary experiences will include a mix of different local seasonal seafood, seafood from Japan, and delicious tempura dishes.

The pickled cherry blossoms come straight from Japan and these dishes that incorporate them will have you feeling like you are transported there.
