All branches of Patisserie Kihachi, operated by SAZABY LEAGUE Co., Ltd., will be selling the cherry blossom season limited edition "Mont Blanc SAKURA" and "SAKURA Roll."
A spring-only Mont Blanc and roll cake filled with cherry blossoms, only available during the cherry blossom season
"Mont Blanc SAKURA" was born in 2017 from a pastry chef who wanted to create a popular Mont Blanc with a taste unique to spring. With its refreshing and elegant taste with a subtle cherry blossom fragrance and its delicate appearance reminiscent of cherry blossoms, this popular item has become an essential part of the spring cherry blossom viewing season. The crunchy streusel* is mixed with cherry blossom leaves and topped with Mont Blanc cream made with cherry blossom paste and cherry blossoms for a truly cherry-filled treat.
*Streusel: A crumbly mixture of flour, butter, sugar, etc.
The "SAKURA Roll," also available only during the cherry blossom season, is made with cherry blossom-scented strawberry cream, rare cheese mousse, brandy-flavored strained bean paste, and sweet and sour strawberries, all rolled up in a pink soufflé dough with concentrated raspberry juice. Inspired by the Japanese confectionery "sakura mochi," this sweet is decorated with cherry blossoms and cherry leaves to give it a springy taste.
