In the spring, Japan is covered in cherry blossoms, an event called hanami, which is celebrated with seasonal food. During this season, vegetables such as peas, eggplant and turnips are in season, as are seafood such as sardines, cuttlefish, herring and rockfish. Clear broth soups with clams, mussels and sardines are popular dishes during the spring months.
A perfect way to enjoy hanami even more is to order typical Japanese food of the area and go to a park to have a picnic under the cherry trees and their wonderful flower, extremely beautiful and with a well-known symbolism in Japanese culture. Has your passion for Japanese cuisine led you to want to know their customs and enjoy the magical entrance of spring? If so, at Monster Sushi we can help you.
