SAKURA

As I went back in Japan last month, I went to see the SAKURA (Cherry blossom) named Kawazu Zakura.
I thought I can't see SAKURA this year but it was just in time, The SAKURA are in full bloom.  
However, KAWAZU ZAKURA is a particular kind of SAKURA , not the only name, they start blooming the end of January to February. It's about a month or two months earlier than others.
And also the life is longer than others.

My friends and I walked Miurabeach to Misakiguchi (the end of the KEIKYU line in Yokosuka&Yokohama area.) with watching beautiful full blooming SAKURA,
There are stalls by the SAKURA trees, we bought SAKURA rice cakes and we ate under the trees. it's traditional seasonal sweets.
There are also rape blossoms under the SAKURA trees.
Spring has just begun in Japan!! The day was really warm, I walked with only a shirt !
I came back in Australia then I heard that there are snowing in Japan ! Surprised !


I ate rape blossoms Ohitashi (seasoned with soy sauce）at home, it was really tasty.
There is SAKURA LATTE in StarBucks Japan now.
Japanese old people say eating seasonal foods are good for our health.
People in Japan !! Enjoy the Spring tastes !!!

Here in Australia...... Autumn is coming....
Which season are you enjoying in this world ??
