LAUBURU

The number ‘64’ on the door refers to France’s 64th department: Pyrénées-Atlantiques, in the Basque Country. A devotee of pork culture, Shinichiro Sakurai is a lover of all things Basque, especially its pork cuisine. Having learned from charcuterie, Chef Sakurai places pork dishes front and centre: pâté and pig’s-head terrine as appetisers, boudin noir as a main dish. The Basque spirit lives and breathes in this back alley off Kotto-dori Street.
