Immerse Yourself in Spring with the Hanami Cherry Blossom Festival at Unatoto Singapore

Cherry Blossoms – A Cultural and Spiritual Icon of Japan

More than just beautiful flowers, cherry blossoms – or sakura in Japanese – represent the elegance, fragility, and fleeting nature of life, deeply rooted in Japanese philosophy. Every spring, thousands of sakura trees bloom across Japan, painting the landscape in a breathtakingly emotional scene.

At Unatoto Singapore, this spirit is reflected not only through the decor inspired by Japanese nature, but also through every dish – each one a piece of spring, a tribute to the cherry blossom season. It’s our way of sharing the graceful message and fleeting beauty of Hanami with our guests.

Discover the Tradition of Hanami – A Millennia-Old Heritage of Japan

The Hanami Festival (literally meaning “flower viewing”) is a tradition that dates back thousands of years in Japan. Since the Heian period, the Japanese have gathered to appreciate cherry blossoms as a way to honor the beauty of nature and reflect on the impermanence of life. Hanami is more than simply viewing flowers – it is a moment of connection with nature, loved ones, and oneself.

At Unatoto Singapore, we believe that no cultural experience is complete without the taste of tradition. That’s why, every spring, we present dishes inspired by the spirit of Hanami, blending the lightness and sophistication of Japanese cuisine so you can feel truly immersed in the season, right in the heart of the city.

While Singapore doesn’t have natural cherry blossom seasons, the spirit of Hanami is creatively brought to life here. Annual Hanami-inspired events at Gardens by the Bay or the Japanese Garden at Botanic Gardens let people stroll under artificial sakura trees, take photos, and embrace Japanese culture.

In addition, Unatoto Singapore offer an intimate and flavorful way to celebrate Hanami – warm, authentically Japanese, and full of culinary delights. This is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal while soaking in the springtime spirit captured in every detail of our space and flavors.
