Sakura, meaning cherry blossom, is a flavor in Japan, and limited edition sakura flavor products are popular this time of year. The sakura trees won't bloom for over a month in most of Japan, though they've started in Okinawa. I guess they are released now to build up the anticipation for the blooming. Some Japanese people have told me that sakura flavored is based off of pickled sakura leaves, though the products I've tried never taste salty at all. Most Sakura flowers don't smell at all, but I believe there may be one type that does, and that's where the flavor comes from. It's basically a faint, generic, floral smell. If the doughnuts weren't pink, I might have thought they were just original flavor.
There's also a nice commercial for these doughnuts. It seems that if you eat them, flowers will spring forth from you mouth and old ladies will scream in joy.
Ratings: Gaybot: 3 We actually tried two types: a chewy doughnut and a crispy one. I thought they were both bad. Girlbot: 5 for the chewy type. 3 for the crispy type. Overall: 3.666666666666666666666667
