This is the completed Yozakura Box. Each tier has its own theme, such as “cherry blossoms,” “scenery of Joetsu,” or “fermentation,” and eight sweets stores in Joetsu City and Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture, and one sweets store in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture, each produced sweets according to the theme.

Fermentation: Sonnare, Patisserie Ri Ri, Bake A (Niigata City)

All of the sweets produced by each store are unique and have a cute appearance that makes you want to keep them on display.

The Yozakura Box was created by the Yozakura Executive Committee to promote the good and delicious food of the Joetsu-Myoko region and the wonderful people who make it. It was developed in collaboration with various stores.

The executive committee is a group that plans events and develops products as a way to propose new ways to enjoy the region, targeting young women. They started their activities in April last year, and so far they have held events in Joetsu City to enjoy the night cherry blossoms, fermentation, and smoking.
