Yamasan Kyoto Uji Sakura Powder, Domestically Produced, for Baking and Cooking, Edible Flower, Food Coloring, Cherry Blossom, Leaf, Sakura

2年続けてシフォンケーキに使用しましたが 桜の香りがちゃんとしてとても美味しかったですよ。 ただ色が薄いので 食紅を足しました。(介護施設のひな祭りの行事で作り 好評でした) 来年も作りますよ。

良き

とにかく国産！と思い購入しました 桜の香りとほんのりピンク色に色ずく良品でした！ 桜ショートケーキ、桜プリン、桜ラテ、桜のムース…と何回か使って作りました ちょっとお高めだけど、季節限定なのでもう一回くらいは買おうかな～と。。

商品説明に原材料が記載されてないので不安でしたが、一般的なものと変わりませんでした。 さくらラテを飲みたいけど、甘さは自分で調節したくてこちらを購入。結論としては、香り、色、味、全てが物足りませんでした。 250mlくらいのものに、写真の量だと足りなかったのでこの倍(全部でスプーン軽く一杯)入れたのですが、香りも味も全く感じられず僅かに塩味を感じる程度でした。入れる量が少ないかと思い、直接粉も舐めてみましたが、それでもほぼ香りはしません。ベタベタとしたデキストリンの味と香りしかしませんでした。 ほぼ桜の素材だけがいいということであれば、こちらの商品はいいものだと思いますが、お菓子や加工して使いたい場合には向かないかもしれないと思いました。

香りがとても良くて桜を感じます。

桜プリンなど味も色もとても好みに合い良かった。

これは楽しい お稲荷さんや何でも春色に染められこの時期楽しんで欲しい

少量でもとても桜の匂いがしてとても良かった

This sakura powder is excellent and tastes exactly like sakura (floral and slightly salty). I use it to make sakura-flavored desserts and dessert components e.g. macarons, ice cream, buttercream and it works perfectly for this. It's a true sakura powder, NOT a latte powder with weak sakura flavor and sugar as the primary ingredient. You could definitely use it to make lattes, though! Wholeheartedly recommended except that the price is $25 for 1.4oz of this stuff which is insane, but (gritting teeth) palatable as it's hard to ship sakura powder from Japan in general and harder during COVID, and you will never find this in an American store. A little bit goes a long way, so it should last a long time unless you're using it constantly.

First off, cherry blossoms don't have a taste. I appreciate that this uses real cherry blossom, but in all honesty, it's the idea of a cherry blossom that we buy this! Real cherry blossoms are picked and are traditionally for Japanese weddings. So they taste really salty! The leaves, also pickled are salty too. So the real cherry blossoms impart a slight floral saltiness here

This tastes exactly like the mixture of sakura-mochi's leave that is salted, and the delicate cherry blossom flower petals. So, if you didn't grow up with Sakura-mochi flavour, it will probably taste very subtle. If you have been to Japan in cherry blossom season (March-early April), you would enjoy this flavour and the early spring season, enjoy the spring zen moment. It probably requires delicate palate to enjoy this authentic Sakura flavour. (For example, Starbucks Japan makes Cherry Blossom drinks as seasonal offering but that often comes with strawberry in the ingredients for likely to display pink colour & flavour)

I bought this item to make Wagashi/Wasanbon Japanese sugar candies. A little powder added to the sugar made delightful cherry blossom flavored lightly pink candies. Serve it with Matcha to stave off a lightly bitter taste or to sweeten the tastebuds while drinking unsweetened tea.

I previously bought Sakura powder from another brand on Amazon (both this and that one are made in Japan and list Sakura flowers as their 1st or 2nd ingredient), and I put so much powder into my cup to make it a latte, could barely taste it, so I was thinking that it could've just been the brand, so I switched to this brand, dumped like half the bag into my cup, and you can SEE it's pink but flavor is once again imperceptible -- I think generally Sakura powder is just not worth it unless you're looking for the faintest floral/cherry/salty taste -- I'm going to try buying the flowers in a jar and see if that gives me better results -- given that it's two separate Japanese brands where the powder hasn't yielded almost any flavor, I'm going to generalize that the powders are just ultra delicate (small sample size, I know, I know). Also, if you smell the powder in the bag, there is some perceptible floral/salty notes, otherwise it's also pretty mild.
