Just received my order. I believe it’s delicious, but it is going to expire in 10 days (11/5/2024). I think it has been on the shelf for a long time. :( I was planning to send it to friends as holiday gift, don’t think it’s not going to happen.

Of course, you have to eat something related to cherry blossoms during the cherry blossom season. It has a light cherry blossom flavor and is a bit sweet. It goes well with coffee and is a great dessert for afternoon tea.
