Sakura-flavoured foods you can try this spring

TOKYO, JAPAN - MARCH 29: Women take a selfie photograph together as they view cherry blossom along the Meguro River on March 29, 2022 in Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese have a long-held tradition of enjoying the blooming of cherry blossoms. The blossom is deeply symbolic and only lasts for around one week and marks the beginning of spring. It is claimed that the short-lived existence of the blossom taps into a long-held appreciation of the beauty of the fleeting nature of life, as echoed across the nation's cultural heritage.

Previously, we introduced some sakura-themed kitchenware, home and beauty products. How about some sakura-themed foods this time?

Every spring, Japan will come up with limited-edition sakura-flavoured snacks and drinks, artistically decorated with an alluring sweet pink packaging. Even if you have no idea what sakura tastes like, or if they even taste like anything, the sakura-flavoured goodies are the iconic omiyage (gifts to buy after returning from a trip) to show that you’ve had a blast in Japan in spring.

Although Japan may not be among the five countries you can travel to right now, you can still get these sakura-flavoured snacks and drinks from Japan online!
