Nutrition & Taste Cherry Blossom Soda
A limited spring time soft drink
Type: Drink
Country of origin: Korea
Carbonated?: Yes
A fizzy drink found at my local asian grocery.
I couldn't resist trying it. I like floral tastes, and I love cherry blossom. It's my favorite flower, and I love the scent of it. But this? This is one of the most awful things I've ever tasted in my life.
It's not a light, floral taste, and it's the opposite of refreshing. It has a very heavy flavor and to be honest, tastes like drinking perfume. It did, however, smell amazing.
This is one soda I will not be getting ever again. Blech.
In the interest of fairness, though, I feel it is worth mentioning that the version I tried was an older recipe from 2020 or so. The current version of this drink (as of 2023) has a much lower amount of cherry blossom extract, down to 0.011% as opposed to this version's 0.021%. I can only assume that newer iterations of the drink will taste different, and hopefully less like perfume.
