Learn about our passion for kitchen design and our commitment to quality craftsmanship.

Crafted with Passion, Rooted in Tradition

Founded in the heart of Tokyo, Sakura Kitchen Design embodies the spirit of Japanese artistry and innovation. For over two decades, we have been transforming houses into homes, one kitchen at a time. Our journey began with a simple vision: to create kitchens that are not just spaces for cooking, but centerpieces of the home where families gather, memories are made, and culinary creations come to life. This vision is deeply rooted in the Japanese philosophy of 'Takumi,' the relentless pursuit of perfection and mastery in one's craft.

Our founder, Kenzo Tanaka, a third-generation carpenter, combined his ancestral woodworking skills with a modern design sensibility to establish Sakura Kitchen Design. From humble beginnings in a small workshop, we have grown into a renowned name in custom kitchen manufacturing across Tokyo and beyond. Our commitment to using only the finest materials, sourced sustainably, and employing time-honored techniques, sets us apart. We meticulously select each piece of wood, ensuring it meets our stringent standards for quality and durability. Our craftsmen, many of whom are Takumi themselves, pour their heart and soul into every cabinet, drawer, and countertop we create.

At Sakura Kitchen Design, we believe that a truly exceptional kitchen is a harmonious blend of form and function. It's a space that reflects the homeowner's personality, caters to their lifestyle, and stands the test of time, both in style and durability. We are more than just kitchen manufacturers; we are designers, collaborators, and dream weavers. We listen intently to our clients, understand their needs and aspirations, and translate them into bespoke kitchen designs that exceed their expectations. Our design process is collaborative, transparent, and client-centric, ensuring that your voice is heard every step of the way. We take pride in our ability to transform even the most challenging spaces into stunning and highly functional kitchens. Whether you are renovating an existing kitchen or designing a new home, Sakura Kitchen Design is your trusted partner in creating the kitchen of your dreams.
