Time flies.... It is sakura season again.... I always think of my Japanese memories around the cherry blossom period.

| Hauntingly beautiful memories.... |
Japanese love their sakura. The country comes into celebration with each sakura season. Family and friends come together and enjoy each other company under the sakura trees. Some even plan trips to follow the trails of the blossom. I think this is one reason why I enjoy the noodles markets in Australia (they always happen at the Hype Park in Sydney where there are various food stalls and people gather around in the evening with their friends to have a meal under the trees in the park.)
Around this time, you will see a lot of sakura related products and snacks. Example, sakura seaweed rolls, sakura chocolates like Kit Kat etc. Guess what now you can also enjoy your coke in sakura flavour! Pepsi has launched its first ever sakura flavor coke in Japan this year. The drink itself is pink in color, completed with the whole cherry blossom packing.

I heard the drink has a light flora taste to it. Those of you who are travelling to Japan should definitely give it a try!
