American Hanami Recipes with Jones Dairy Farm

The peak bloom time for sakura (cherry blossom) in Japan is expected to be around March 30 in Tokyo, with peaks across the rest of Japan spanning from March until April — with northern parts of Japan, like Sapporo in Hokkaido, predicted to be graced with sakura petals as late as April. The arrival of sakura means two of the best things of the year: spring and hanami (cherry blossom viewing). Mix up your hanami picnic haul with Jones Dairy Farm-inspired recipes this spring.

Why not try a fusion of American and Japanese this spring with American-inspired recipes that are perfect for hanami? Each recipe uses authentic American Dry Aged Bacon, Canadian Bacon and All Natural Breakfast Pork Patties to give a US twist to your hanami afternoons!
