With February half-way over, we’re almost done with winter. Spring is so tantalizingly close that we can taste it.
And no, we’re not speaking metaphorically. As of Feb 15, Starbucks has added four new food items to its menu in Japan, and all of them make use of the country’s beautiful symbol of spring: the sakura cherry blossom.
Starting things off is the sakura donut (250 yen), and no, that’s not sugar sprinkled on top. It’s powdered cherry blossoms, adding a refreshingly salty element to this sweet treat.
