Cherry blossoms are starting to bloom from Kyoto to Washington D.C.! We’re celebrating with Alaska Zwei, a vegan cafe we work with in Tokyo, who gave us this sweet sake sakura recipe to help us hold on to this gorgeous season just a bit longer.
This recipe features Amazake, a traditional Japanese sweet drink made from fermented rice. It has a slightly sweet, tangy flavor and is often used as a natural sweetener in desserts and beverages and Sakura powder, made from dried cherry blossom petals and a common addition to Japanese desserts and drinks. It adds floral, cherry notes to our latte.
A latte art printing machine will add an extra vibe, perfectly capturing the essence of the sakura. season in every cup!
