The authentic floral essence behind Japan’s iconic sakura sweets.

Discover the true signature aroma of Japanese cherry blossom season with our Sakura Leaf Extract, produced by Yamashin, a revered Japanese manufacturer of seasonal wagashi ingredients since 1955.

This alcohol-based extract captures that distinctive fragrance, allowing chefs and bakers to bring a refined floral note to a wide range of culinary creations. From delicate mousse to frozen desserts and teas, this extract offers a convenient way to recreate the charm of sakura season—any time of year.
