Sakurayu - Sakurayu

Japanese: 桜湯 - さくらゆ
Sakurayu - Sakurayu

A drink made from pickled cherry blossoms. The name first appeared in the late Edo period. One or two salted cherry blossoms are placed in a teacup, hot water is poured over, and the drink is made when the blossoms have opened. It has a salty taste and a strong cherry blossom scent. It is used instead of tea as a lucky charm when tea is avoided. It is an essential drink, particularly at weddings. Its color and aroma are also used in soup toppings, garnishes for sashimi, and vinegared dishes.

Japanese:

桜漬けを利用した飲み物。江戸後期にはその名前がみえる。サクラの花の塩漬けを1、2輪湯飲み茶碗(ぢゃわん)に入れ、熱湯を注ぎ、花が開いたところを飲む。塩味で、サクラの花の香りが高い。縁起物として、茶を忌む場合、茶のかわりに用いられる。とくに結婚式には欠かせない飲み物である。ほかに吸い物の椀種(わんだね)、刺身のつま、酢の物などにもその色香を利用する。
