Cherry Blossom Culture and Creation is not to be missed
In addition to viewing cherry blossoms, the cherry blossom cultural creations launched by various Internet celebrities every year have also received a lot of attention.

In addition, major brands will also "follow" the popularity of cherry blossoms around March every year and launch limited products.
For example, limited-edition thermos cups with pink or cherry blossom elements, cherry blossom costumes, and cherry blossom pancakes that are best-selling during the cherry blossom season every year, etc., pink and tender elements are more "appropriate" in spring.
Among the cherry blossom limited items launched by the makeup brand, blush and lipstick play with pink to create a delicate early spring makeup.
Cherry blossom instant noodles, cherry blossom coffee, and cherry blossom tea are nothing new.
However, it is worth noting that most sakura products only use sakura elements in the packaging and decoration, and there is no trace of sakura in the ingredient list.
It turned out that in March last year, cherry blossoms were first approved by the National Health and Medical Commission as raw materials for ordinary food.
Moreover, the smell of cherry blossom itself has a slightly bitter almond smell, and the taste is very light due to the lack of volatile substances. It is extremely difficult for manufacturers to use cherry blossoms as raw materials to extract essential oils or make essences.
It can be seen that "Sakura Limited" is still "superficial", and whether it is "IQ tax" or "paying for appearance" depends on personal preference.
