It seems three weeks after my warning, sakura season is finally over for most places in Kansai.
Otsukaresamadeshita! 
Another indispensable thing for a good hanami party is Japanese sake.
This tree is the famous over 300-year old Matabee Sakura (又兵衛桜) in Uda City in Nara prefecture. Unusual color of this type comes from the kodaimai old-style rice.
Hanami is about enjoying a good company rather than just flower viewing 😉
Soon these lovely looking buds will turn into ugly, pinkish flowers and everyone will put their photos on Facebook, Twitter and Google+. Disaster is imminent!
