Japan’s dreamiest cherry blossom merchandise to shop this spring

Now that it’s officially sakura season in Tokyo and across Japan, the country has burst into a pink frenzy, with everything from food to seasonal merch inspired by the fleeting blossoms. If you’re taking a break from hanami hopping around the city’s best viewing spots, why not channel that sakura spirit into a little shopping? Whether you’re after pretty pink tumblers or collectible art pieces, here are the most delightful cherry blossom-themed finds of the season. 

Starbucks Japan mugs and tumblers

As it does every year, Starbucks Japan is releasing not one but two cherry blossom collections, featuring mugs, tumblers and even stationery inspired by the spring blooms. You’ll find the sakura items both in stores and online, but be quick – they tend to sell out fast. The Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Nakameguro also has its own limited-edition sakura range, which is well worth a look.

Blue Bottle Coffee cups and handkerchief

Alongside its seasonal cherry blossom latte and matcha cherry blossom latte, Blue Bottle Japan has released a small selection of exclusive sakura goods that make perfect gifts or souvenirs. Highlights include a special sakura latte cup created with Yumiko Iihoshi Porcelain, cherry blossom Hasami ceramic cups in collaboration with Kinto, and an original embroidered handkerchief made with Kyoto-to. You can pick these items up at Blue Bottle cafés nationwide as well as online.

Disney cherry blossom collection

One of the most charming cherry blossom collections we’ve seen comes from Disney, which has released a Japan-exclusive range in soft shades of pink and purple featuring fan-favourite characters including Winnie the Pooh, Donald Duck, Baymax and Mochi. The collection spans everything from plushies and handy neck pillows to zip pouches and even skincare items.

Takashi Murakami Tonari no Zingaro sakura collection

If you love Takashi Murakami’s iconic smiley flowers, you’ll want to check out his spring take: a special sakura collection available exclusively at Tonari no Zingaro inside Nakano Broadway. The range includes plush pillows, key rings and tote bags, as well as T-shirts and baseball caps adorned with the signature pink blooms.

Gap Japan cherry blossom clothing and accessories

If you’re looking to outfit yourself head to toe in sakura this season, it’s worth stopping by Gap Japan. The global retailer recently released a line-up of men’s and women’s spring-ready pieces as part of its sakura collection. Expect cosy vintage French terry zip-up hoodies, matching sweat shorts, long and short-sleeved tees as well as sakura takes on its iconic logo sweatshirts. There are also packs of sakura-inspired socks, sold in sets of three.

Sanrio sakura collection 

When it comes to adorable seasonal merch, you can’t forget Sanrio. This spring, the brand has released a range of sakura-themed designs, from plushies to small accessories in soft shades of pink. Think sakura-inspired Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll plushies, beaded keychains and mini towels with cherry blossom motifs. There are also shiny pink hair clips featuring Kuromi and Pochacco, plus a cute pink eco bag perfect for hanami picnics. 

Sonny Angel cherry blossom series

These quirky, cute dolls have become collector’s items for many, and now there’s a new release to put on your radar. Sonny Angel’s Hippers Cherry Blossom Series is available in Japan and worldwide, featuring the beloved character in pink and green hues inspired by sakura. Designed to perch on the edge of your phone, mug or shelves, they’re perfect for adding a playful touch to your everyday life.
