Japan

sakura

Japan is gaslighting me. This is the same picture right?!?!?!?!?

I’ve stared at it for 20 minutes.

Here is the whole brochure. I did the zoomed in version of the 2 photos so you all could have fun playing spot the difference but the people have spoken!  “Okesa” and “Tsukubane” Sakura are definitely the same photo and this is probably a misprint. I am not crazy.

I saw it on the Hirano Shrine page  it seems the "Okesa" is actually the one shown in the attached photo.
They must have been mistaken because they look so similar.
It looks like the flowers fully bloom into what’s shown on the URL page.
In any case, We always struggle to tell apart pink blossoms like cherry, peach, and plum every year😅 😂

I’m really good at plum now!!!! I got to see so many this trip because they were late too so I feel I’ve leveled up!

Oh, that's good! 🌸
I love plum blossoms, plum wine and pickled plums, haha.😆

I'm so happy to hear that Pichi san likes ume (Japanese plums)!
Both umeboshi (pickled plums) and umeshu (plum wine) come in so many varieties, and it’s really fun to compare them.
Traditional umeboshi are quite salty, but I personally love the ones pickled with honey because they’re easier to enjoy.
For umeshu, I prefer the rich, cloudy types with a deeper flavor.
Oh, and I also really love the plums that have been soaked in umeshu  they’re so delicious!😋

Me too! 

I got plums last December to have on New Years as tea and they were VERY pickled and savory and caught me off guard! 

I love love love plum wine.
