"This collection of Japanese spots is serving up plenty of cherry blossom specials, like cherry blossom doughnuts at fast-casual Love on the Run and a Sakurambo Cherry semifreddo to end the an omakase at Dear Sushi. If you’re planning to cuddle up under the cherry blossoms, you can order the Hanami Picnic for two (named after the Japanese spring pastime of relaxing and viewing the blossoms) with 16 pieces of sushi, seaweed salad, two bottles of Ramune, and two cherry blossom doughnuts ($55). Hiya Izakaya is also transforming into a cherry blossom-filled pop-up with a special drinks menu on March 20, including a cherry blossom infused lager, a strawberry rhubarb highball, and a gin-filled raspberry spritz." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
