They are already blooming in Tokyo: the first sakura!
In Japan, this marks the start of hanami – the festival whose name literally translates as «looking at blossoms».
Friends, family and colleagues gather under the blossoming cherry trees to eat, drink and celebrate the beauty and transience of life together – with bento boxes, beer and sake.

HANAMI CITY - The picnic under Zurich's cherry trees
As spring awakens, Zurich's more than 1000 Japanese cherry trees begin to blossom - and a beautiful activity blossoms with them!
The Harubaru Copy Club - an association that explores the diversity of Japanese cuisine through various events and projects - has mapped out all the Japanese cherry trees in the city of Zurich on an online, interactive Zurich Hanami Map in 2021. This helps you find the perfect spot for your personal hanami picnic.

And in keeping with this, the makers of HANAMI CITY are preparing bulging Bento boxes for you for the sixth time this year, which can be picked up from April 10 to 19, 2026.
Back again, of course, is shizuku's small Cup Sake Yuki Otoko - a round, powdery, fresh as well as vivid Junmai for on-the-go enjoyment.

Be on time!
The picnic boxes are produced only on pre-order and in limited numbers. Order deadline is on Monday, March 30, 2026.
