When to research
This is a cheap early upgrade if Japanese Villagers are actively gathering from Berry Bushes or Cherry Orchards: it costs only 25 Wood and 25 Coin and takes 10 seconds. Its 5% gain applies to those two sources only. Research before sending workers to Rice Paddies or other Food sources, and treat Yozakura Lanterns as a later, separate investment rather than part of this effect.
The first step in the berry and cherry line
Hanami Parties improves Japanese Villager gathering from Berry Bushes and Cherry Orchards by 5%. It does not improve hunts, Rice Paddies or all Food gathering. Yozakura Lanterns follows in the Commerce Age and adds its own 10% bonus to the same listed sources.
Low cost, but dependent on nearby sources
Research at the Asian Market in the Exploration Age for 25 Wood and 25 Coin; it takes 10 seconds. The benefit is most useful while berries or Cherry Orchards still contain Food and workers can reach them safely.
