It's here: Sakura Pepsi. This year's latest product to go cherry-blossom flavored is available to try now.

It was released to the public on March 8. The soda, which comes from the Japanese beverage maker Suntory, trades its classic brown color for a light pink, has a special label and sweet sakura taste. The drink is a limited edition product and costs about 140 yen.

The "cherry blossom season", which signals springtime in Japan, will be in full force this year in March, April and May. For more information, check JapanTravel's Sakura Special.
