    The Nakameguro cherry blossom festival is back! After a three-year hiatus, Shizuka and the byFood team head to the Nakameguro to celebrate the return of this beloved Tokyo festival. The beautiful sakura trees leaning over the river make this spot one of the best places in the city to enjoy hanami, or flower viewing.
    Of course, no byFood trip is complete without enjoying the local snacks, and Shizuka tries a variety of festival street food. Snacks like the classic hanami dango, wagyu on a stick, and a sparkly glass of strawberry champagne make the magical walk under the cherry blooms even better!

    Yay! I was here 5 years ago for my first hanami in 29 years since the last time (I know), and it was amazing! I really loved the pink lanterns and all of the strawberry-themed items the shops along the street sold. The highlight was definitely the waterway just covered with all of the cherry blossom petals; truly gorgeous. Thanks for bringing back the flood of lovely memories, Shizuka!

    The banana with the dango 🍡. as a combo would be so wrong.😂. Sakura time is so festive. Cherry blossoms are celebrated in other countries but nothing like this. And drinking outdoors is cool, assume that people here are cool and respectful to get that ability.

    the Tears of a Dreamcatcher are Precious ,

    the fall of the Cherry Blossom Petals 🌸,
    is as the fall of the tears of the Dreamcatcher " ,
    catch the petal , catch the tear , catch the Dream and make a wish .
    those who are Blessed by Dreamcatcher ,
    always have a Dream .
    when it's Fate ,
    there is no coincidence .

    I so miss Japanese street food and the warm friendliness of the communities for gatherings such as this.

Unbeknownst to them, as a result, I developed a lifelong ❤️ for both the Japanese people and culture. Thank you so, so, sooooo much for your continued work in exposing the beautiful culture of Japan 🇯🇵 to the word; I literally cannot WAIT to experience it for myself someday!

    My first trip to japan we visited here on the tail end of the season, and had yaki-imo (sweet potato from a truck), and then stayed here on a later trip for about a week during en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Hagibis. Even outside sakura season, it's a great place to visit. Plenty of good food and bars, close to shibuya, canal is a nice place to walk, and several amazing coffee places in the area: onibus and switch (down the canal a bit, closer to meguro).
