Spring in Japan brings a delightful array of seasonal sweets, and in 2025, Seven-Eleven has introduced a new addition to their SEVEN PREMIUM line: the Fluffy Sakura Fuwakoro.
A Seasonal Twist on a Popular Treat
Originally, “Fuwakoro” was a soft sponge cake filled with custard cream, reminiscent of the famous Sendai confection Hagi no Tsuki. This spring edition, however, replaces the custard with sakura-an (sweet cherry blossom paste) and gives the sponge cake a beautiful pink hue, making it a perfect seasonal treat.
Delicate Sakura Flavor and Aroma
As its name suggests, the Fluffy Sakura Fuwakoro has a wonderfully soft and airy texture. The subtle sakura aroma and mild sweetness of the sakura-an create an elegant flavor profile. Unlike some cherry blossom-flavored sweets, this one is not overly strong or overly sweet, making it appealing to a wide range of people. If you prefer less sugary treats, this might be the perfect choice for you.
This limited-edition confection captures the essence of Japanese spring in both taste and appearance. Whether you are a fan of seasonal flavors or just looking for a light and fluffy snack, Fluffy Sakura Fuwakoro is definitely worth a try!
