Sakura sweets season is being celebrated with a brand-new pudding-like cherry blossom drink from Starbucks Japan and this decadent dessert drink represents the newest addition to the brand's line of Chilled Cups. The Sakura White Chocolate with Milk Pudding is a treat that can only be found at Japanese convenience stores and unlike many of the other products from this line that are made with a focus on caffeine, this one is all about pure indulgence. The product boasts an uplifting cherry blossom aroma and a pudding-like texture.
