Immerse yourself in the essence of Japanese spring with these edible Cherry Blossom Flowers, meticulously preserved in salt. Harvested at peak bloom, these blossoms retain their vibrant pink hue and delicate aroma, offering an authentic sakura experience. In Japan, this preservation method has been cherished for centuries, allowing the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms to be enjoyed year-round.
Product Highlights:
Traditional Preservation: The blossoms are gently preserved in salt and ume plum vinegar, maintaining their natural colour and fragrance.
Versatile Culinary Use: Ideal for enhancing teas, confections, and savoury dishes, these blossoms impart a subtle floral note and a touch of elegance.
Authentic Japanese Experience: Imported directly from Japan, these preserved flowers bring a piece of Japanese tradition to your kitchen.
Usage Suggestions:
Sakura Tea (Sakurayu): Rinse the blossoms to reduce saltiness, then steep in hot water to create a fragrant, slightly salty tea — a customary drink at celebratory events like weddings.
Culinary Garnish: Use the blossoms to adorn pastries, cakes, or rice dishes, adding a decorative touch and a hint of floral flavour.
Beverage Infusion: Incorporate the blossoms into cocktails or mocktails for a unique flavour profile and an attractive presentation.
Storage:
Keep the preserved blossoms in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. After opening, refrigerate to maintain freshness and colour.
