Japan – The Taste of Spring in Every Petal

Sakura season in Japan is not only seen, but tasted. Across the country, the arrival of cherry blossoms brings a wave of seasonal flavors—sakura mochi wrapped in salted leaves, blossom-infused lattes, pink-hued wagashi, and even limited-edition fast-food menus. From high-end kaiseki to local bakeries, spring unfolds on the palate as much as in the trees. It’s a multisensory celebration where every bite becomes a tribute to nature’s most fleeting flower. #cherryblossom25
