Cherry blossoms are pickled after harvesting to preserve them so they can be used outside of the Sakura season, which is rather short and unpredictable. Our fresh cherry blossoms are soaked in Ume plum vinegar to preserve the pink color and then pickled in salt. This method has been developed over many generations, and allows you to enjoy authentic sakura flavor and decorations wherever and whenever!
Pickled cherry blossoms are originally used to make sakura tea, which is used on special occasions, such as weddings. When cooked together with rice, they do not only create a beautiful colorful contrast, but the rice also absorbs the flowery aromas of the cherry blossoms. Nowadays, pickled sakura also made its way into the world of pastries; There is a growing number of Japanese and Western recipes with sakura. We are collecting an ever growing list of great sakura recipes on our blog.
