Product Type: Japanese food and dessert wrapping ingredient

These salted cherry leaves from Yamashin are authentic sakura leaves from Japan, preserved with a traditional salting method. The leaves have a unique, subtle fragrance and a mild salty taste that complements the sweetness of desserts when used as a wrapping. They are a popular ingredient for wrapping sakura mochi and other Japanese sweets during the spring. The leaves are soft, pliable, and don't tear easily, making them perfect for both desserts and omakase dishes.


How to Use
Preparation: Soak the leaves in cold water for 5-10 minutes to reduce the saltiness and help them regain their shape.
Wrapping: Pat them dry and use them to wrap your sweets. The leaves can be eaten along with the dessert or removed before serving, depending on the recipe.
