April'23 Bokksu: Sakura Story

We’re celebrating the magnificent and ephemeral cherry blossom. For a short while each spring, these pink blooms burst forth - blossoming first in Japan’s southern regions like sunny Okinawa, making their way northward to the chillier Hokkaido. Some people travel throughout the country from south to north, catching these flowers at their peak. Folks gather for hanami picnic celebrations under the cherry trees, where they drink tea, eat sakura-flavored snacks, and share stories. This month’s Sakura Stories snack box features the best sakura treats and other spring favorites.
