It is that time of the year again when everything that’s sold is sakura-inspired. But we certainly are not complaining! And that we sure are happy to indulge.
We got addicted to the sakura yogurt last year, which I haven’t found yet on the stores’ shelves this year.
Found this one.
What’s inside? Heaven.
It’s a heaven though that needs to be taken with a litre of water. Will try to post more sakura-inspired products soon.
Danzakura. This lane would have been a very lovely walk during sakura season. We were two weeks late!

A spring-y outfit for…
…Yui’s first hanami!
This variant blooms days earlier than the white variant so they’re in full bloom earlier this week whilst the white ones will be in full bloom this weekend or early next week.
With the Sakura frenzy, everything now is sakura-inspired. From food products to wines, to toiletries to home cleaning agents. And we try everything too, not only for the novelty of it but because it tastes good (food and wine). Our favourite so far is sakura yogurt.
And look there’s sakura udon too!
The taste? Very very slight sakura taste discerned only by an udon lover.
Japan Spring, you’re so lovely it’s such a waste to while the day inside the house!
Pretties!
Long before the sakura in the other parts of the region has fell off and turned lifeless brown on the road, the sakura in our neighbourhood still gives us much delight. These many-petaled ones took a long time to bloom. But they’re such a delight now that their peers has given the “stage” to them.
After a hard rain, it always is a beautiful day the day after, making today’s walk to office even lovelier what with the blue skies highlighting the sakura trees, that has blossomed in its prime, lining the whole Sakura avenue in front of the office. And this week is even lovelier what with the sakura petals falling, as if it’s snowing with pink and white petals.
