Spring is the season of cherry blossoms. However, cherry blossom viewing under the cherry blossoms in full bloom can only be enjoyed during a short period from late March to early April.
Here are some sweets and goods that allow you to enjoy the cherry blossoms even after the cherry blossom season is over. Why don’t you enjoy the cherry blossom season at home or on a trip?

Kobe-based patisserie “ANTENOR” will be offering a variety of colorful and gorgeous tasting sweets under the theme of “Hanami” (cherry blossom viewing) at its cake stores nationwide. These spring-like sweets include a cake combining cherry blossoms and black tea, a cherry blossom Mont Blanc, and a cake combining Nishio green tea and yuzu (a Japanese citrus fruit).

This delicate cake, inspired by cherry blossom petals, features a refreshing peach mousse coated in a sakura-scented glaze. Inside, you’ll find a light and fruity peach-infused sakura sauce and a rich tea-flavored crème brûlée, creating a perfect harmony of flavors.

Enjoy this Hanami sweet at home, or go out and enjoy the cherry blossoms while viewing them.
