I got a head start on the new food item being sold by Starbucks (Starbucks), the Sakura Donut! The release date is February 15th. The price is 275 yen (tax included).

Sakura Donut

Sakura Doughnut is a doughnut with the flavor of cherry blossoms and a good balance of saltiness. The sugar doughnut dough is covered with a slightly sweet and melt-in-your-mouth cherry blossom coating, and topped with two different colored and flavored cherry blossom powder. The soft texture of the dough, the soft flavor of cherry blossoms, and the moderate saltiness provide a perfect balance.


The light pink color is so cute that it will make you feel like spring! When you bite into it, the coating on the surface crumbles and spreads a soft sweet and sour flavor. The salty flavor is well balanced between sweet and sour. The texture of the dough is also very firm, making it very satisfying to eat. The cherry blossoms and doughnuts come together to create a dish that will satisfy both your eyes and taste buds.


The cute cherry blossom color of the new Starbucks "Sakura Donut" is sure to bring spring to you early. How about it as an accompaniment to your tea time?
