Sakura spotted at Starbucks!

Starbucks here in Japan have already started promoting cherry blossom season in Tokyo.  The gift cards and Sakura flavored drinks (Sakura Steamer and Sakura Frappucino) are being advertised heavily in their stores.

Some of the advertising (merchandising for those in the business) for the Sakura themed seasonal beverages.  I haven't tried one yet, and don't have the desire.

Here's a new Sakura Starbucks gift card.

Here's a fancy mobile Starbucks truck in Roppongi Hills.  In addition to the Sakura themed paint job, it has a cool Seattle license plate.  Seems that the staff is getting a pep talk.
