Enjoy Hanami

As spring arrives, Japan is bathed in shades of pink. Cherry blossoms have long been cherished as a national symbol, and the tradition of hanami, or flower viewing, has been celebrated for over a thousand years.
April, in particular, marks the peak of the cherry blossom season, with full blooms painting the landscape and lifting spirits.

Enjoy Hanami

More than just flowers, cherry blossoms symbolize the fleeting nature of life and new beginnings, often appearing in poetry, paintings, and films. One of Japan's most cherished spring traditions is gathering under the blossoms in parks or along riversides with friends and family.

What's in this box

Cherry Blossom Jelly with Blooming Sakura Motif
It is this lovely jelly that captures the delicate essence of cherry blossom time.

It is light pink in color, subtly sweet and has a delicate floral fragrance and is a refined dessert that enables you to savor the fleeting quality of spring in every bite.

Samazama Sakura
The dry confection is inspired by a haiku from Matsuo Bashō, one of Japan’s most famous 17th-century poets known for mastering the art of haiku: “So many things are on my mind—cherry blossoms.” It has a slightly sweet taste, and the flavors of sesame and seaweed gently spread.

Yamato Matcha Tiramisu Chocolate
