Reply to comment by glopmod in To Restaurants: Sakura blossoms don't taste like cherries by glopmod

Who the fuck calls it Sakura season though?

Absolutely no one! It's not unreasonable to admit that for most people, the words "cherry tree" are the applicable words, and that, due to common practice, people associate the word "cherry" with the flavor of "cherry".

If someone released a sakura beer and it tasted like bing cherries, by all means, hit 'em up. But no one is lining up outside their local bar for a "sakura surprise" cocktail.

Sakura literally means cherry blossom. Cherry blossoms don't taste like cherries. The trees we have a festival for don't produce fruit.

​

Tens of thousands of people are lining up downtown for a festival called Sakura Matsuri, and local restaurants serve drinks during it that taste like cherry. That is the post.

It's been 48 hours. Please go away.

It's been 9 hours since your reply. Figured convo was still going.

More than happy to let this drop, because it's pretty obvious neither of us is going to budge. Hope you have a great spring!
