This past week marked the start of cherry blossom season in Tokyo! All of a sudden, nature around us changed and we are now surrounded by “sakura trees” (i.e. cherry trees). Outside blossom season, sakura trees are pretty normal, so you wouldn’t really notice them among other trees. But these days, they are the stars of Japan and they get all the attention they deserve!
Together with cherry blossom season comes a lot of sakura special edition goods. Japan loves its seasons and is all about seasonal goods! So, shops and supermarkets recently started selling all sorts of pink cherry blossom flavoured goods, such as cherry kitkat, pink sweets, sakura flavoured Fanta, Starbucks offers sakura cafe latte, etc. Having tried the sakura kitkat a few years ago, I thought I’d try something else this time; and this time, I got a limited edition sakura sparkling sake. It’s pink and … interesting!
