Cherry Blossom Spring Luncheon - Friday, April 14th

In Japan, “Hanami” is the tradition, cherished for centuries, of viewing and appreciating the Beauty of the Cherry Blossoms, (or “Sukura” in Japanese). Cherry Blossoms are the harbinger of Spring, and their fleeting loveliness symbolizes the ephemeral, exquisiteness of life, reminding us to enjoy the brief beautiful things in life! Customarily, on drinks tea and eats a delicious picnic, under the blossoming cherry trees. Once enjoyed only by the Emperor and the Imperial Elite, now this custom is enjoyed by all! So we invite you to Welcome Spring with us, and enjoy a Japanese lunch (Menu still waiting to blossom!), and Celebrate the Cherry Blossoms with your fellow Goldenaires. Dress in your prettiest pink, cherry blossoms, or even don your festival “Yukata” (Springtime kimono), and wend your way to our Hanami!

 Menu will include:  Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu (fried breaded chicken), white rice and green salad.  (Vegetarian option:  Vegetable Tempura and Avocado & Cucumber Sushi Roll), and dessert.  (MENU SUBJECT TO CHANGE).  You may keep your “obento” box to carry home your leftovers.  

 Ice Tea and sodas available for purchase $2 each.

 Cherry Blossom Luncheon only: $25 per member              $30 non-member
