Japanese Sakura Bean Paste is a sweetened white bean paste blended with salted sakura leaves for a delicate floral aroma, gentle salinity, and soft pink colour. Made with a white bean paste base, it has a lighter and cleaner flavour than many darker red bean pastes, making it especially versatile for traditional Japanese sweets and spring-inspired baked goods.
