Hanami at night is called yozakura (literally night sakura). In many places such as Ueno Park temporary paper lanterns are hung for the purpose of yozakura. On the island of Okinawa, decorative electric lanterns are hung in the trees for evening enjoyment, such as on the trees ascending Mt. Yae, near Motobu Town, or at the Nakijin Castle

A more ancient form of hanami also exists in Japan, which is enjoying the plum blossoms (ume) instead, which is narrowly referred to as umemi (plum-viewing). This kind of hanami is popular among older people, because they are calmer than the sakura parties, which usually involve younger people and can sometimes be very crowded and noisy

Salt Pickled Sakura Cherry Blossoms
![Page 31: Japan37 Colors of life4](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a034971a28ab5d2e8b5333/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Salt Pickled Sakura Cherry Blossoms
The main ingredient, cherry blossoms petals, is harvested when the cherry trees bloom from mid to late spring. After the calyxes are removed, the petals are then pickled in plum vinegar and salt and the product subsequently dried. The dried cherry blossoms are then stored or sealed in tea packets and sold.
![Page 32: Japan37 Colors of life4](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a034971a28ab5d2e8b5333/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: Japan37 Colors of life4](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070509/58a034971a28ab5d2e8b5333/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In order to produce sakurayu, a few such dried, salt-pickled blossoms must be sprinkled into a cup of hot water. Once covered in hot water, the collapsed petals unfurl and float. The herbal tea is then allowed to steep until the flavor reaches its desired intensity. The resulting drink tastes slightly salty.
There is a Japanese expression "Ocha wo Nigosu." "Ocha" is green tea, and "Nigosu" means to make unclear. So the term itself will literally translate to to make the tea cloudy. However, the meaning of this expression is to "be evasive," "be vague," or "non-committal." This denotation is why green tea is not served at weddings, but "Sakura-yu" is served as it represents "beginning," which is most appropriate for a wedding.
