GUSTA SUPPLIES Cherry Blossom "Sakura" Leaf Extract, Signature Floral Aroma for Desserts & Beverages

Gusta Supplies

$26.00

The authentic floral essence behind Japan’s iconic sakura sweets.

Discover the true signature aroma of Japanese cherry blossom season with Gusta Supplies Sakura Leaf Extract, produced by Yamashin, a revered Japanese manufacturer of seasonal wagashi ingredients since 1955. While the sakura flower is known for its beauty, it’s the salt-pickled sakura leaves that carry the unmistakable floral-fruity aroma found in beloved springtime confections like sakura mochi.

This alcohol-based extract captures that distinctive fragrance, allowing chefs and bakers to bring a refined floral note to a wide range of culinary creations. From delicate mousse to frozen desserts and teas, this extract offers a convenient way to recreate the charm of sakura season—any time of year.

Key Features:

  • Authentic sakura leaf flavour—the signature aroma of sakura mochi

  • Crafted by Yamashin, a legacy Japanese brand since 1955

  • Alcohol-based for easy blending into liquids and creams

  • Imported directly from Japan

  • Ideal for professionals and enthusiasts of Japanese sweets

Recommended Uses:

Sweet Applications:
Mousse, crème anglaise, panna cotta, ice cream, gelato, wagashi, buttercream, sorbets

Savoury Applications:
Sakura-infused dressings or glazes for seasonal tasting menus

Beverages:
Floral teas, cocktails, sakura lattes, or sparkling drinks

Chef’s Tip:
Sakura leaf extract provides a more aromatic and lasting flavour than flower extract. Use sparingly at first, then adjust for intensity.

Gusta Supplies has expanded into an online heaven of specialty ingredients and tools from its humble beginning as a convenient shop for students attending classes at Gusta Cooking Studio. We hope you enjoy shopping here as much as our students do.

it taste like sweet clover

This product smells a lot like sweet clover or even tonka. Not that it is bad or anything but if you are looking for more floral flower like a bit rosy, it is not. I accidentally order the flower extract last year and it was not very fragrant. I contacted them and they explained to me that for the fragrant and aroma, I need the leaf extract. The customer service is always very good and they are very helpful.
