The owner page identifies Sakura House at the basement of 82–88 Elizabeth Street, publishes Mon–Sat evening hours and says walk-ins only. Its live page also announces a temporary Suntory House takeover of the same Sakura House basement; the fresh operational Place remains the exact bar at that address, not a nearby venue.
