MUJI Sakura Scone: A Taste of Japanese Spring
If you’re curious about seasonal Japanese sweets, MUJI’s Sakura Scone offers a unique take on spring flavors. This scone features a delicate sakura (cherry blossom) aroma paired with a subtle saltiness that sets it apart from typical sweet treats.
At first bite, you may notice an unusual sakura flavor—likely influenced by the white sugar sprinkled on top, which creates a sweet and floral contrast. Embedded in the scone is a salted cherry blossom, prepared in the same traditional style as those used in sakura mochi. This gives the scone a stronger, more pronounced taste compared to other confections.
The MUJI Sakura Scone is a charming example of how Japanese sweets blend floral notes with savory undertones, making it a memorable seasonal delight—even if it takes a bite or two to appreciate its full flavor.
