Jyoraku Matcha + Cherry Yokan: A Sweet Send-Off to Spring

Spring Sakuras (Cherry Blossoms)may be saying goodbye, but this tea moment? It’s blooming. A lovely customer gifted me one of the very last cherry yokans from this year’s Sakura Matsuri (From Tokaragashi)—and you know I had to pair it with a warm bowl of Jyoraku Matcha.

🌸 What is Yokan?
A classic Japanese wagashi—a jelly-like sweet made from red bean paste, sugar, and agar-agar. It’s beautifully subtle, fully plant-based, and beloved across Japan.

🍵 Why match it with Jyoraku Matcha?
Because matcha’s depth balances the yokan’s gentle sweetness like a poetic duet. Together, they create a moment that’s tender, grounding, and soul-hugging.

Even my chawan joined the farewell-to-sakura party with soft floral detailing.
Savor the sweetness of spring a little longer, one sip at a time.
