Morinaga Aloe Yogurt and Cherry Blossoms

While this might not be the product which comes first to mind, Morinaga suggests eating aloe yogurt while viewing the cherry blossoms. Yogurt with added aloe has long been a best seller for Morinaga and it is associated with skin care and beauty. The package carries the wording "deliciousness which helps maintain beauty" which comes as close as possible to a claim without passing over the line. This package also promises 50% more aloe than in the past.

Meiji Almond Chocolate and Cherry Blossoms

Meiji suggests an almond chocolate and beer combination for cherry blossom viewing. I usually prefer salty snacks with beer, but each to his or her own. Also pictured is Meiji's online mascot for all their confectionary products. 明治 アーモンドチョコ
