They are cherry blossoms, double-flowering, preserved in salt.
Cherry blossoms are not only appreciated for their beauty but are also used as a special food ingredient. Both the flowers and the sakura leaves are edible; they are preserved in salt to commemorate the fleeting symbol of spring.
They are carefully hand-picked when the buds are still young. They are then washed, drained, and dried before being sprinkled with salt. The next day, the brine is squeezed out and the flowers are pickled in ume plum vinegar (梅酢). Finally, they are left to dry again before being packaged.
With a slightly salty flavor and a unique floral aroma, salted cherry blossoms are ideal for sweet and savory dishes, as well as in cocktails! The beautiful pink also adds a touch of beauty to the food.
