"The sakura raspberry cream donut ($8), which starts with the brand's signature airy dough. It's filled with raspberry mousse and raspberry jelly, then dipped in sakura-infused white chocolate for a creamy, floral finish. A dusting of sakura powder and crunchy dried raspberries adds texture, while a fresh raspberry on top delivers a bright, tart pop."
"Cherry blossoms are very special in Japan. They remind us to slow down and cherish the present moment, because nature is fleeting. With these special offerings, we hope to capture the spirit of sakura season as spring begins in New York."
"There's a sakura latte ($7-$7.50), a soft pink, hot beverage made with housemade sakura cream. Expect floral, slightly grassy notes rounded out by a touch of white chocolate for subtle sweetness. It's cozy enough for a chilly early March afternoon but light enough to signal that winter's grip is (finally) loosening."
