All Sakura Products
Sakura products for cooking, drinking and baking
Sakura has a long place in Japanese food and drink, with the flowers and leaves used in everything from tea and traditional sweets to seasonal dishes. Our edible cherry blossoms, preserved leaves and cherry blossoms in syrup make it easy to experiment with these delicate floral flavours at home.
Salted cherry blossoms can be steeped in hot water to make sakura tea, a gently floral drink with a light salty note. You can also use the flowers in rice, soups and baking, while salted sakura leaves are traditionally wrapped around sakura mochi. Cherry blossoms in syrup bring a soft sweetness to cakes, desserts and cocktails.
Vinegar gives sakura another direction. Sakura rice vinegar has a delicate floral character that works well with vegetables, salads, shellfish and meat. Sakura cherry blossom vinegar is stronger and more aromatic, while cherry wood smoked rice vinegar adds a light smoky note for dressings, glazes and grilled or roasted food. The full range of Japanese cherry blossom products also includes sake, rice crackers and cherry tree liquid smoke, giving you plenty of ways to bring sakura into drinks, snacks and everyday cooking.
Cherry blossom ramen bowls and sakura tableware
Cherry blossom products aren’t limited to ingredients. Our ramen bowls, udon bowls, rice bowls, plates, tea sets and chopstick rests use sakura patterns in soft pinks, greens, blues and greys.
The cherry blossom ramen bowls are made in Japan and combine traditional floral motifs with shapes designed for generous servings of noodles, broth and toppings. Different colours and glazes let you mix pieces across the range rather than buying everything as a matching set. You’ll also find smaller bowls, chopstick rests and tea pieces within our Japanese tableware collection. Some sakura pieces are sold as boxed pairs or sets, making them an easy option when you want a present with a Japanese connection without turning this collection into a gift-only range.
From ingredients you can cook with to cherry blossom ramen bowls you’ll reach for at dinner, these sakura products bring one of Japan’s best-known seasonal motifs into everyday food and tableware.
