Gorgeous! It’s a shame sakura doesn’t grow here in Alaska, or I’d be out picking some flowers to try it for myself. Fantastic photos, fellow sake lover!

Hi Diva, OK, we studied up on 'sakura powder'. There are the following in common circulation (surely other more esoteric stuff somewhere in Japan): Salted Sakura Blossoms: Used for tea, etc. Very salty. The whole blossoms are most common, but ground can also be had. Sakura Leaf: This actually where the most 'sakura' flavor comes from. Powdered sakura leaf comes in two forms; salted and not salted. Got it?

sakura flavoured sake?! i want some of that now. pretty pictures. question, is there such a thing as sakura powder for cooking? just very curious as I have yet to taste sakura as it is, rather than from manufactured flavours.
