So almost exactly 3 years ago today...

I posted a video of me eating a piece of bread

That video now has almost 1.5 million views

Which is... embarrassing more than anything.

But today I got some bread as a souvenir from my friend Kyarorin~

She was at hanami in Meguro

and they were selling some sakura bread

and she brought me a piece!

So since people on YouTube seem to like watching me eat bread

I decided to eat that for you

Here it is!

Cherry blossom bread

It looks like it's from a place called Lotus Baguette

If you look at the ingredients, it's all just really basic stuff

Flour, sugar, yeast, salt, organic palm oil, and pickled sakura flowers!

Which are these that you can see here

I'm not sure if you guys watched my sakura starbucks drink video

But they had these pickled sakura flowers on top of the cake

and they tasted like just regular dill pickles...

Which was very strange.

So here's hoping that this bread doesn't taste like pickles

and it tastes more like the sakura flavour

Oh it smells so nice!

It kinda smells like raisin bread

I kinda wanna toast it and put something on it but...

Let's stick to the original format of my first bread video

because that one went well!

Itadakimasu!

Mmm!

It's really "mochi mochi"

It's really squishy, and like... bouncy?

I don't know how to say "mochi mochi" in English

I think I used the same word in my video 3 years ago

and I still haven't figured out how to say it xD;

Maybe it's a word we don't have in English, that's probably my problem

Look you can see the sakura leaves/stems sticking out

It's really good

Tastes really similar to sakura mochi

Which is a sweet that's wrapped in a sakura leaf

It's a nice subtle flavour

This would be so yummy toasted with cream cheese or something

Mmmm...

Springtime in Japan is just so much fun because

Japan likes to have lots of fun with trying new flavours

of anything you can think of!

So, the drinks at Starbucks...

cakes, desserts,

bread

McDonald's had sakura flavoured stuff last year, like a burger!?

I'm looking forward to see what other companies come out with this year

But I am super in love with this sakura bread!

I wish I had more of it!

So if you guys are in Japan for sakura viewing season

and you happen to see some sakura bread

definitely give it a try, it's really good!

Even like this with nothing on it, you can just eat it as a snack

while you're looking at the sakura blossoms

and speaking of sakura viewing!

There is a YouTube/Hanami Party (hanami = sakura viewing)

This Saturday April 4th, at Yoyogi Park

So if you are in Tokyo, or in Japan and you feel like coming to Tokyo for the weekend

Please come and hang out, I will be there

Rachel and Jun will be there

as well as tons of other YouTubers

Anyone is welcome to come, we all really wanna meet you guys!

Hopefully we can have some fun and just chill in the park like last year!

I will put the link in the description box to the Facebook Event for the hanami party

Check there, there should be a map with the location

and the time and all that information

So yeah! I hope to see you guys there!

I will probably be there around 1 or 2 in the afternoon

So if you would like to meet me, maybe show up around 1 or 2

Hope to see you guys there, and thanks for watching! Bye!
