A wooden box with drawers was custom-made for KAI brand, designed to hold the temari sushi. Opening the drawers reveals the colorful temari sushi, offering the excitement of discovering treasures similar to opening a jewel box. The box has four layers: the first layer presents the menu and recommended scenes for enjoying the temari sushi, while the second to fourth layers contain the colorful selection of 15 types of temari sushi that evoke the feeling of spring.
Special attention was paid to the setting in which the “Flower Viewing Temari Sushi Bento” is enjoyed. For example, at KAI Ito and KAI Anjin in Ito Onsen, Shizuoka Prefecture, guests can ride an open bus to tour cherry blossom spots while feeling the spring breeze. This provides a thrilling flower viewing experience with an unobstructed view of the approaching cherry blossoms from seats that offer a sense of openness. Guests can enjoy spreading the bento out on picnic blankets while viewing various types of cherry blossoms unique to the area, such as the Somei Yoshino, weeping cherry, and early-blooming Kawazu cherry and Ito cherry.
In addition, at KAI Nagato in Nagato Yumoto Onsen, Yamaguchi Prefecture, a riverbed terrace exclusive to overnight guests can be privately reserved for up to two groups per day. This offers a prime view of the rafts of flowers floating on the surface of the Otozure River and the fully blooming cherry trees along it, creating a special seat that resembles a tea room for flower viewing and tea kaiseki. Guests can enjoy the cherry blossoms both visually and gastronomically, with the scenery right before their eyes.
During the event period, guests can always enjoy the hot springs while admiring the cherry blossoms. The large public baths are decorated with cherry blossoms to facilitate the ultimate feeling of joy while viewing the beautifully blooming cherry blossoms on a spring journey and rejuvenating in the hot springs to regain energy for the next day.
