I have been let down ordering "cherry blossom" cocktails that use cherry flavor. It dominates the drink and doesn't taste anything like cherry blossom.

​

I brought back a bottle of sakura liqueur to replicate for our wedding menu a few years ago. This stuff is pretty solid, compared to actual sakura liqueur, if you mix it with 1 part vodka and 1 part sugar.

The only way to get the authentic experience is to eat the blossoms straight from the trees, otherwise it's just a pale imitation

What if I wanted just the bark from a dogwood.😁😁

Ahh man, I'm actually glad to see this. I had Sakura flavoured ice cream in Japan years ago and am constantly looking for it out in the wild. This would have been an excited then let down experience.

Grape is the soft tissue around a dog butt

They're supposed to taste like purple and they do. What is "grape"?

This should be a crime

But this is because the two things sound the same, in one language.

It would be like ordering dogwood berries and they mail you a chunk of raw dog.

Grape Skittles don't taste like grapes either

I assumed he was talking about the one that tastes like the thing this post is about.

Stop at Hana. They get a pretty good selection throughout the year of seasonal KitKats.

Japan has hundreds of flavors of kit kats though. I wish we got more of them.

Cherry blossoms do not taste of much at all, which seems to be why they are often served preserved in sugar or other things. Umeboshi they are not.

Japanese Kit Kats, surprisingly, taste like cherry blossoms, likely because the base consumer for that product knows the difference

candy that tastes like other candy is unamerican

if we had known this was going to be an issue, we would have banned this kind of thing when we wrote their constitution

Man, it's a break from photos of monuments and posts about crime and the homeless

I'm glad you took this to reddit... this is a pretty serious issue that the district has been facing for years now and I'm tired of it.

The Botanical Regent of the Basin?

some cherries are sour

How many cherry blossoms do you eat a year and are you also mad about Japanese Kit Kats?

Someone that likes gimmick limited time cocktail menus and the taste of cherry blossom

Who are you, the cherry police? Appointed by the Chrysanthemum throne?

In fairness, while the threat to the dog was uncalled for, both parties probably shouldn't have been there. I know the cemetery closes for dog walking at dusk... https://congressionalcemetery.org/day-passes/.

I guess both sides got the reaction they were looking for?
