Sakura & Spring Flavors

What is sakura?

Sakura refers to the blossom of the Japanese cherry tree. In Japan, the blossoming season is an important time when people gather to celebrate spring during hanami – the cherry blossom viewing.

Sakura has a slightly floral and subtly salty-sweet flavor. Therefore, it's often used in desserts, mochi, tea, and seasonal snacks.

Sakura snacks and desserts

Many Japanese brands release special sakura-flavored products each spring. Think of:

• sakura mochi

• sakura tea

• sakura chocolate and snacks

• limited edition sweets

These products are often only available temporarily during the spring.
