Or, in Kanazawa and the rest of northern Japan, before it even starts.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the latte was replaced by a sakura white hot chocolate, which I really liked, but unfortunately it\u2019s been gone for a month and the sakura only started blooming this week. Luckily, a sakura \u201clatte\u201d (technically it\u2019s a steamer since there\u2019s no coffee) is really easy to make at home. All you need is preserved edible sakura, boiling water, and milk.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.illmakeitmyself.net\/2013\/04\/03\/homemade-sakura-latte-sakura-steamer\/\"><em><strong>Click HERE to read more.<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>L.M.
