Inspired by cherry blossom season, the world-famous Lindor chocolate ball range has expanded to include the first-ever Sakura Lindor. Japan is no stranger to sakura-flavored food and drinks of all kinds but this premium chocolate is a special treat that celebrates the arrival of spring.
The chocolate captures the delicate beauty of the season with a cherry-flavored filling encased in a white chocolate shell containing strawberry powder. To capture the spirit of what sets this unique chocolate apart, Lindor opted for a light pink wrapper.
The Sakura Lindor will be exclusive to Japan and it can be purchased on its own or part of special bag and box sets that are ready for gifting.
