A delicate floral extract that captures the essence of Japanese spring.
Experience the soft, fleeting beauty of Japan’s iconic cherry blossoms with this Sakura Flower Extract. Crafted by Yamashin, a trusted Japanese producer of seasonal wagashi ingredients since 1955, this extract delicately expresses the refined floral profile associated with traditional sakura-mochi and springtime confections.
Contrary to popular imagination, the sakura flower does not actually have a strong scent. It is the sakura leaves that are brimming of the unique floral aroma. This alcohol-based extract is designed to provides a gentle floral taste that can be enhanced in your culinary creations. It’s ideal for those looking to add a subtle but elegant floral nuance to desserts and beverages, especially when used in more generous quantities.
