According to this year’s forecast, Japan still has a month or two until the cherry blossoms turn the country into a beautiful pink-tinged wonderland. But while it’s too early to see the sakura, you can already experience them in beverage form. Starbucks, for example, has released multiple dessert drinks that make use of Japan’s most famous flower.

If you’re looking for something a bit stronger, however, Kanagawa Prefecture’s Sankt Gallen is happy to oblige. As of February 23, the craft brewer’s cherry blossom beer, called Sankt Gallen Sakura, is back on store shelves.
