Hanami : Picnic Under the Cherry blossom

Hanami is a beautiful and timeless tradition in Japan that celebrates the arrival of spring and the blooming of cherry blossoms.

The delicate and vibrant pink and white petals of the Sakura ( Cherry blossom) trees serve as a poignant metaphor for the fragility and beauty of life, reminding us to cherish every moment we have.

This joyous event, people come together with their loved ones to enjoy the breathtaking scenery and indulge in delicious food and drinks while sitting under the blooming trees.

The air is filled with the sweet aroma of the cherry blossoms, and the sight of the pink and white petals dancing in the gentle breeze is truly mesmerizing.

What is Hanamizake?

Not sure what kind of sake to choose for cherry blossom viewing?

I have a perfect sake for you!

Dassai Nigori Sparkling is the perfect companion for this celebration!

Its pink and sparkling appearance evokes the beauty of the cherry blossoms, and its creamy, silky texture with delicate sparkling made by the champagne method is a treat for the senses. It has a little sweetness that perfectly balances its clear finish, making it a delightful drink to savor during Hanami.

Dassai Junmai Daiginjo Sparkling 45 :
Recommended temp: -5 ~ +2c
Yamada-Nishiki rice
Polished down to 45%
* open slowly, it will burst like champagne🍾

I found this sake at BC liquor store! However it seems like sparkling style is limited during this season, so hurry!

The blossoms only last for a brief period, the memories created during Hanami can stay with us forever.
It is a time to appreciate the beauty of nature and the company of those we love, and to be grateful for the fleeting moments of joy that life brings us.
