Spring is in the Air at Lotteria's Sakura Fair
As the chill of winter recedes and the promise of spring takes hold, Lotteria, a popular hamburger chain in Japan, is ushering in the season with its exciting Sakura Fair. From February 18th, this limited-time event will feature a delightful array of cherry blossom-inspired sweets aimed at tantalizing taste buds and lifting spirits as we collectively look forward to warmer days.
A Taste of Spring
The fair showcases three uniquely crafted items that pay homage to the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms. First on the list is the
Sakura Parfait Shake, a refreshing drink crafted with cherry blossom syrup. Topped with fluffy whipped cream, it includes crushed jelly made with strawberry juice, adding a delightful texture that mirrors the essence of spring. Thinly shaved cherry-blossom-colored chocolate rounds out this luxurious treat, making it not just a drink but a celebration of the season’s flavors. Each sip is aromatic, sweet, and slightly tangy, thanks to the strawberry jelly that adds a burst of flavor and a pleasant crunch.
Next up is the appealing
Sakuramochi Pie, another highlight of the fair. This one-hand sweet is encased in a perfectly flaky pie crust, enveloping a sweet filling made with cherry blossom bean paste. The blend surprises the palate with a gentle sweetness that evokes the traditional taste of sakura mochi—crafted by mixing salted cherry leaves and sticky rice into the bean paste. It's the quintessential snack for anyone looking to enjoy a taste of Japanese spring on the go.
Finally, a
Sakura Shake rounds out the limited-edition offerings, featuring the same cherry blossom syrup that sets the tone for the fair. Priced affordably, these treats invite everyone to indulge in the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms before they're gone.
Seasonal Availability
The Sakurafair will be available at select Lotteria locations from February 18 through mid-March, or until stocks last. As customers rush to partake in these seasonal delights, it’s advisable to check availability—some menu items may not be available for delivery or may vary by location based on machinery adjustments.
Conclusion
This special event represents a cultural nod to the Japanese appreciation for cherry blossoms, which symbolize renewal and the ephemeral beauty of nature. Whether you're savoring a refreshing shake or enjoying a pie filled with sweet nostalgia, be sure to visit Lotteria to celebrate the arrival of spring with their charming Sakura Fair!
