Perfect for cherry blossom season: Sakura Jelly

by sugargeek on April 9, 2008

Springtime is cherry blossom season, and I can’t think of a more perfect treat to represent hanami than this pretty Sakura Jelly, or Kin-gyoku. This was made by bananagranola, from Osaka, and it has real cherry blossoms in it. I wish I could have a taste!

Those really are elegant looking but I don’t think I have ever seen anything like that. Can you buy that at a store?

Well dont be jealous…. well you better be cuz its so good.
Its lite tasting and sweet, but not really sweet. The only place I know
were you can get it is , from Japan. My wifes’ cousin brought it over just last week. It cost about $25 for about alittle less than cup approx. 7 1/2 oz. If you can get it, enjoy it, and share alittle. Take care
