Japanese Influx Continues with Sakura

Sushi Sakura is coming to downtown in the spot that used to be the Three Lions Bakery Cafe on the corner of S.W. Washington and Sixth. It joins Shigezo in the ever-expanding category of not-yet-open downtown Japanese restaurants. The shiny new Sushi Sakura sign promises "Sushi Go Around," but no word on whether it travels by boat, train or possibly via a new streetcar line. The place has applied for a liquor license and is hiring, if you're an experienced waitress and fluent in English. A quick tip to entrepreneurs hoping to ride the Japanese Influx wave: the nearby spot that used to be Daphne's Greek Cafe is available.
