桜の塩漬けってなに？

桜の塩漬けとは、桜の花を塩と、お酢（またはレモン）に重石をして、２〜３日漬けて、乾燥させたもの。
しょっぱいですが、桜の香りが凝縮されています。

桜の塩漬けは、こんな風に和菓子によく使われるのですが、

日本人パティシエが洋菓子を作る際に、日本風にするために使われることもあります。

そして…実はあります！
▼さくらマカロン
なんと“SAKURA”シリーズの一商品としてマカロンがあります。（包装袋のデザインも、春らしくてかわいいですね^^）

What are salted cherry blossoms?

Salted cherry blossoms are cherry blossoms mixed with salt and vinegar (or lemon) and using stones as pickle press, marinated for 2-3 days and dried.
Although they taste salty, the scent of cherry blossoms are deepened.

Salted cherry blossoms are often used in Japanese pastries,

but Japanese pastry shops also use them to convey Japanese flavor in Western pastries they make.

And... there is indeed such a product!
▼Cherry blossom macaron
