To yukkuris, the pale pink cherry blossom petals that waft down from the trees are the choicest dessert--faintly sweet, with the fragrance of cherries. Eating them one petal at a time isn't enough to satisfy, but when the ground is thickly carpeted with petals, they can savor them to their heart's content.
There are also the remains of all the flower-viewing parties. Since careless sightseers leave food scraps behind, large numbers of yukkuris from who-knows-where gather under the cherry trees at this time of year.
