Hmmm, I’ve always thought of Sakura as being like a really really thick Hollandaise, but it does have a bit of a mayonnaise-y texture to it. (I’ve eaten at the restaurant **Drain Bead** is referring to.) Haven’t ordered anything with it in ages, though, so I can’t remember the flavor difference.

I used to work with someone who told me that he and a friend had perfected a recipe for it, but I’ve lost touch with him. I’ll see if anyone I know is still in touch with him.

I have searched for years for a Sakura sauce like that at the Japanese steakhouse in Columbus. This is the closest I have had [http://www.food.com/recipe/sakura-sauce-18260](http://www.food.com/recipe/sakura-sauce-18260). Just be sure to follow the directions exactly, if you add the oil too fast it doesn’t work right.
