Many visitors to the Fresno area are astonished to find a Japanese garden in this very dry, hot valley. The Climate of Japan is similar to the Eastern United States. The plants used in this garden do best in moist, fertile soil with rain and snow. None of these attributes are like Fresno. It was a true leap of imagination to conceive of a Japanese-style garden in Fresno. Their Board of Directors and Advisory Board are committed to furthering the progress of their Shinzen Garden. Yet it is the concern and responsibility of every citizen of Fresno to preserve and protect the Garden for future generations.

Butterfish California Poke serves delicious chef-crafted poke bowls that not only feed you, but fuel you. What is California poke? California poke is a modern twist on what traditionally has been a Hawaiian marinated raw fish appetizer. We expanded on that tradition by providing fresh, sustainable fish over a variety of bases to make it a full meal. We took it one step further by including chicken, shrimp, crab and seasonal vegetables. We source the absolute freshest ingredients and prepare everything in-house to provide the highest quality and most flavorful poke bowls. Each of our signature bowls thoughtfully pair handmade sauces, bases and toppings with our proteins for unforgettable flavor profiles. But who knows what you’re craving better than you?! Build your own bowl (BYOB) and combine all your favorite ingredients for a one-of-a-kind bowl that is as unique as you are.
