What's a Sakura Festival Like?

What food did we buy?

  • takoyaki - a classic festival staple

  • black sesame mochi - the most underrated flavor in the universe

  • sakura ice cream - big yum

  • gyro - this is actually common at some festivals!

  • amazake - creamy, thick, and warm sake

  • sparkling rosé - because pink

Be careful though.

If you go during a busy time of day, many people will be swarming the sides of the river, trying to take that perfect profile picture shot. Wait, you say you want to see ours? Why, we’re so happy you asked!

If you come down to Meguro River, you can take beautiful pics, too! Talk about a two-in-one deal.
