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

This stuff uses wild cherry extract, which tastes like cherries in my experience.

I compared it to a bottle of Suntory sakura I brought back and they're similar

Suntory Sakura is made with the blossoms and leaves.

>I have been let down ordering "cherry blossom" cocktails that use cherry flavor. It dominates the drink and doesn't taste anything like cherry blossom.

Was what you said, but now you are claiming that your homemade drink WITH cherry extract tastes like something made with cherry blossoms... but also leaves. So which does it actually taste like, the leaves or the blossoms?

I don't give a shit what it's made from. I care how it tastes. I compared a bunch of products. This one was the best. Reviews share the concept.

I'm not sitting here and arguing about what something you haven't tasted tastes like. You wanna come over and try it?

I've tasted cherry blossoms and leaves, and wild cherry in many forms. The first two have so little scent and taste I can hardly believe that they can flavor a beverage at all by themselves. Japan also popularized drinking "maple water", e.g. sap, that tastes just like... water.
