What about the taste...?
Now that we've checked the package, let's taste it! First, let's check the color.
As the name "milk" suggests, the color is a pure white.
You can't detect the cherry blossom or berries from the color, but a sweet, berry-like scent wafted out the moment I opened it.
As for the taste, when you take a sip, the milkiness and a soft, gentle sweetness of cherry blossom and berries spread.
The gentle sweetness and aroma, combined with the milk's creaminess, fill your senses, yet the aftertaste is clean, leaving a pleasant sweetness in your mouth.
Recommended Pairing: Peach Jelly!
For pairing with 'Starbucks Berry Berry Sakura Milk,' peach jelly is recommended.
We also tried pairing it with peach jelly, and when eaten together, the textures blend even more smoothly, neither flavor interfering with the other. You can feel just the right amount of combined berry and peach tartness.
While the peach flavor tends to be strong when eating the jelly by itself, the combination of berry sweetness with the peach jelly's juice is delicious!
