It is Cherry Blossoms season again in Japan! But going to Japan would entail a lot of expenses.
Not every Pinoy could afford to spend that much in order to experience the cherry blossoms season in Japan, right?

Sakura Chicken Katsu

Breaded fish cake with soy ginger sauce and sautéed mixed vegetables sounds yummy for your tummy!
