In Japan, spring means cherry blossoms, and alongside enjoying the beautiful blooms, you can explore limited-time cherry blossom-inspired products. From desserts to accessories, numerous shops and restaurants offer special items featuring cherry blossom designs or flavors. Popular picks include the Starbucks Japan Sakura Collection, Sakura-themed afternoon teas, and even Sakura-themed cosmetics, loved by locals and tourists alike.
The Sakura Collection from the most beloved franchise donut store, Mister Donut (ミスタードーナツ), or Misdo, have become another popular springtime tradition since they collaborated with one of Japan’s most renowned green tea shops, Gion Tsujiri, in 2021 for a special Green tea & Sakura Collection and it was a great success. For the 2022 collection, they opted for a delightful combination of sakura and mochi (sticky rice paste) and customers loved it so much that they continued it in the 2023 collection.
Starting on February 28th, 2024, Mister Donut is offering its limited-time collection Sakura Mochi Donuts: four new donuts with a cherry blossom-theme flavor. Embracing the spirit of Spring, Mister Donut created this sakura-themed product lineup inspired by the evolving cherry blossoms. Building upon the success of their annual “Mochi Donuts”, they further improved their recipe of the dough. Alongside the customer favorites like “Bu/Tsubomi”, “Half-Bloom” and “Full Bloom” from 2023, the 2024 addition includes the new “Dancing Cherry Blossom” flavor.
If you want to enjoy the Sakura Mochi Donuts Series that will be only available in this season of the year in Japan go to your nearest Mister Donut store before they run out!

From Barcelona to Tokyo. Coffee & Adventure lover🌏☕️
I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!
Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
