Available to view and enjoy from the 26th April until the 7th of June, Roka in Charlotte Street has created a whimsical subterranean interior dripping with a canopy of fresh blossoms. The room features a series of trees, each of which is complete with individual branches and pale pink flowers designed to replicate the real thing. They overlook the venue’s tables and bar area, and are accompanied by a romantic pink lighting to add to the atmosphere.

Keita Minari, brand manager international, Beam Suntory said: “Sakura is a hugely important season in Japanese culture, and Hanami has been practiced for centuries. In modern culture, it is celebrated with picnic parties under the canopies of cherry blossom. We wanted to recreate a ‘Suntory’ version of this in London, and Roka’s Shochu Lounge is the perfect place to experience a contemporary take on Hanami.”
