Ginbis, a Japanese confectionery manufacturer, will release “GINZA RUSK Sakura Kaoru Matcha Chocolat” (Sakura Scented Matcha Chocolate) for a limited time at convenience stores nationwide across Japan starting Monday, February 9, 2026.
This product fuses Uji Matcha, one of the highest peak brands of Japanese tea, with the flavor of Sakura (Cherry Blossoms), the symbol of Japanese spring. It marks the arrival of a special snack that can only be tasted during this season.
Luxurious Japanese Spring Weaved by Traditional Matcha and Sakura Scents
The new release, “GINZA RUSK Sakura Kaoru Matcha Chocolat,” is a gem filled with dedication to Japanese ingredients.
The main features are as follows:
- Authentic Matcha Flavor: It uses Uji Matcha carefully ground using a stone mill. This traditional method brings out a deep, mellow aroma and the pleasant bitterness unique to Matcha.
- Harmony with Sakura: A faint sakura flavor is added to the bitterness of matcha and the sweetness of chocolate. This allows you to enjoy the “Japanese harmony of tastes” of matcha and sakura simultaneously.
The package design is also attractive. Against a background of vivid matcha green, lovely sakura petals are scattered. The design, expressing the beauty of Japanese spring, will lift your spirits just by holding it.
