Premium Chocolate Brand Lindt Japan Launches World's First Sakura LINDOR In Time For Spring 2022!

Ready for winter to end? This chocolate brand is one step ahead! This year, premium chocolate brand Lindt Japan is getting a head start on spring with their first-ever sakura flavored LINDOR chocolate ball!

Every spring, millions of friends and families in Japan gather under the cherry blossom trees to enjoy hanami, or Japanese cherry blossom viewing. And what better way to enjoy the cherry blossoms than with seasonal sakura sweets?

Premium Swiss chocolate brand Lindt has a history of over 175 years, with 11 of those years in Japan. Yet while Lindt has participated previously in sakura season with other cherry-themed products, this will be the first time infusing the popular springtime flavor with their most iconic treat, the LINDOR chocolate ball.

The new Sakura LINDOR perfectly represents hanami season, with a Lindt premium white chocolate shell, cherry-blossom filling, and strawberry powder. This delicious new treat is available for purchase in several forms, including special gift boxes, gift bags, and 'Pick & Mix,' in which you purchase by weight and can mix with other LINDOR flavors.

The Sakura LINDOR will be available at Lindt Chocolate Boutiques throughout Japan for Spring 2022 only!
