Making salt-cured cherry blossoms or sakura no shiozuke (桜花の塩漬けの作り方)

Posted on Apr 01, 2021

Over 10 years ago, while still living in the United States, I got to know of cured cherry blossoms from a dear friend, K. and discovered that the Japanese pickle the blooms and the leaves for food, as an accent for drinks and desserts, and even drunk as a savory tea called sakurayu.

How does pickled sakura taste like? Very much like Japanese preserved plums or Ume, me thinks. Hence, it is not surprising that the 2 get paired rather frequently in culinary matrimonial bliss. Piqued by the thought of making my own batch, I enlisted help in searching for recipes. The problem is, most recipes do not specify what variety of sakura tree the blooms should be used from.
