Japan is always ahead of the curve, and with the huge love of cherry blossom both here and abroad, they're ready to bring on the pink-infused season with sakura snacks and cosmetics!
Here are our top 5 picks that have already been released for 2020.
Sakura Pocky & Sakura Matcha Pocky

Pocky is one of the most popular snack souvenirs for visitors to Japan - get something special with these fancy sakura and sakura-matcha flavors to snack on on the plane home, or to bring back the wonders of the cherry blossoms to your own country!
This year's cherry blossom flavors are divided into two types, one is a special flavor of cherry blossom with a little salt in cherry blossom chocolate, and the other is the combination of classic cherry blossom and matcha, a match made in heaven!
Although it isn't taking center stage in this case, "Cream Collon" has also come out with a "sophisticated sakura matcha" flavor for the season.

Facial mask: As fresh as a spring flower!

BCL Good Morning Mask claims to replenish skin moisture in as little as 60 seconds, allowing busy businesswomen (or men) to save a lot of time in their morning or evening routines!
As well as their usual product with their original scent, this year's limited edition spring mask is based on the wonderful scent of cherry blossom. Let's hope this makes our skin as delicate and soft-to-the-touch as the sakura petals themselves!

Fresh Sakura Mint: Ora2me Whitening Toothpaste

Ora2me Whitening Toothpaste is super popular in Asia, and to add to that buzz they've come out with "fresh sakura mint" flavored toothpaste and sakura-themed toothbrushes.
The gentle sakura fragrance and cute sakura packaging is a simple and useful souvenir for family and friends back home.

Nitto Black Tea Cherry Blossom Milk Tea

Have you heard of Nitto Black Tea? This is actually pretty popular among tourists in Japan.
They have a variety of fresh teas, but we're particularly excited by this new flavor: Sakura Milk Tea! Like a tea latte, this is easy to use and comes in sachets, so there's no problem taking it home with you. The taste is said to match perfectly with the kawaii sakura-themed packaging.
Coca-Cola, Sakura Style!

We know that loads of you love to collect Coca-Cola bottles while in Japan, so make sure to add this one to your collection!
Since the first sale of Sakura-themed packaging in 2017, it's safe to say it's a hit every time. These are available particularly at tourists spots, and select stores around the country.
