Curious about the flavour of a Japanese cherry blossom or Sakura, I decided to try out the new seasonal Sakura kakigori from this eponymous popular Malaysian dessert bar(its Pavilion KL outpost specifically). The taste of the pink shaved ice is unique, it is something of a dull mild sweetness and the slight tartness you reminiscent of sour plums and pickled fruit. The smell of it was similar to sour plum, but I realise it is because edible Sakura flowers are usually pickled in Japanese cuisine. The sakura syrup was evenly distributed throughout the shaved ice and I was honestly in awe at how uniformly tiny each ice crystal in the kakigori was, making it extremely easy and enjoyable to savour it by the mouthful. This kakigori also has a creamy espuma layer with red bean paste and a green tea jelly shaped like a large seed at the top, middle and bottom and an edible pickled sakura leaf which was fragrant and slightly salty which cut through the sweetness of the dessert just fine. .

This dessert will continue to be served at KAKIGŌRI until the 15th of April so do visit there before then if you want to try it out!
