Pink products

Spring time (or pre-spring-time) is very pink in Japan, even after Valentine's. It's as if red and white from Christmas/New Year's blended and faded lighter and lighter into pink towards Valentine's and then really pastel pink towards spring. I'm sure pink fanatics would be jealous of things that can be found here, along with other Sanrio and Sailormoon products.

These are just some of the major-brand products that are in the cherry blossom theme. Everywhere you go you will see cherry blossom editioned things, from desserts to stationaries to store decorations. It seems we like cherry blossom flavored things because it's become like a staple returning flavor.

It's just a phenomenon of the Japanese people fully embracing the ephemeralness of cherry blossoms.
