sakura
Robust flavours of fruit and flowers steal the limelight in this limited-edition seasonal beverage.
Shinjuku Gyoen garden is right in the middle of the city, and has two different types of cold-weather sakura.
Travel mugs, cups and glasses adorned with pink blooms sit alongside cherry blossom mocktails for a limited time.
Real extract from the trees gives you a sense of what it’s like to drink the cherry blossoms.
Japan’s beautiful cherry blossoms are on their way, but not at the same time as usual, according to predicted dates and map.
Signs of the seasons, from rainbows to cherry blossoms, have never looked as good, or tasty, as these breathtaking nerikiri desserts.
Soothing sounds and other seasonal symbols of Japan are also part of the techno-cultural innovation.
