The blooming, of sakura

In Japan, the blooming of the sakura marks a new beginning every year. A tranquil moment when nature shows its most beautiful colours and people come together to reflect on change, beauty and renewal. Based on this cultural tradition, we at Koppert Cress strive to refine a familiar product: Sakura Cress®.

A natural, evolution

Sakura Cress® has been one of the most popular cresses in our range for many years. Known for its powerful, fresh radish flavour with a slightly spicy bite and subtle peppery notes. In addition to this distinctive flavour profile, it stands out for its deep purple colour, which adds a refined and expressive accent to any dish.

In collaboration with Sango Seeds, we have worked on further improving this variety. This extensive breeding and selection period has resulted in a variant with a deeper purple leaf colour. Whereas traditional radishes have green cotyledons, Sakura Cress® stands out for its intense colour and expressive appearance.

Deeper purple, more character

With this new variety, we are taking the next step in the development of Sakura Cress®. Not a drastic change, but a refinement in appearance, in experience, in detail. A subtle but meaningful improvement, inspired by the power of colour on the plate.

Familiar, but further refined

The renewed Sakura Cress® remains true to its origins, with roots in Japanese tradition and the belief that true quality lies in nuance. With a deeper purple colour and an even more powerful presentation, this cress better meets the needs of chefs who strive for both taste and aesthetics.

With this refinement, we are building on our belief that quality can always be further developed in taste, appearance and detail.
