Our love for this flavor just continues to blossom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We have all come to love matcha<\/em> (powdered green tea leaves) in our desserts and snacks, but did you know that Japan<\/strong> also has another well-loved flavor<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also Read:<\/strong> 16 Matcha Treats in Metro Manila that Will Make You Drool<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <\/em>sakura<\/em> (cherry blossoms) flavor<\/strong> only comes every spring<\/strong>, giving our favorite snacks this mild floral taste<\/strong> that’s very light and lovable<\/strong>. Much like how the flower is in real-time, sakura-flavored<\/em> desserts are often a seasonal treat<\/strong> and only truly bloom<\/strong> during the months of March to April<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We may not be in Japan right now, but you can still get a taste of sakura<\/em> desserts around the Metro<\/strong>. Here are eight sweets and desserts that have been infused with the elegant sakura<\/em> flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
