We had 7 lovely ladies come to our Hanami Afternoon Tea Party!! Today, we prepared a lunch box with 9 different dishes using seasonal items (and focusing on the color pink), pizza, plus 4 desserts! Yes, we worked hard😁 Sakura Bento Box 🌸 Braised salmon carpaccio 🌸 “Sake kasu” butter w/ dried figs and walnuts 🌸 Fried chicken with red pickled ginger 🌸 Canola flower and firefly squid with vinegared miso with mustard 🌸 Roast pork w/ blueberry sauce 🌸 Marinated green onions with pickled lotus root 🌸 Beetroot hummus 🌸 “Shira-ae”, spinach dressed with tofu and white sesame 🌸 “Oshizushi (pressed sushi)” with canola flower and salted cherry blossoms Luckily, the beautiful cherry blossoms in front of JJ Kitchen were almost in full bloom so we had a great view! Everyone enjoyed the drinks, food and each other’s company,
