Sakura Sushi Bar and Restaurant

St. Paul, MN – Dinner Date Series #1

We love Japanese food and are always on the hunt for good sushi wherever we go. Last Friday night we ended up at Sakura Sushi Bar & Restaurant in Downtown Saint Paul near the Excel Energy Center.

Sushi Roll:

#33 A salmon & cucumber roll topped with hamachi & avocado

Kaylaʻs Order:

Salmon Teriyaki with Shrimp & Veggie Tempura Combo- Great portion of both the salmon steak and pieces of tempura. I love when restuarants serve kabocha (pumpkin) tempura.

Austinʻs Order:

Kama Hamachi- A large hamachi collar that was seasoned and broiled perfectly. Each bite melted in our mouths.

It was a peaceful night, not crowded at all, as we talked about our new lives here in Minnesota and enjoyed a couple servings of tempura ice cream, one vanilla and one green tea. Can you guess who ordered the vanilla?

Weʻre excited to experience a new city together, a new state and region of the country as well.

If you have any food recommendations for us, feel free to leave a comment!

Aloha and a hui hou,

Austin and Kayla.
