US First Lady Jill Biden released the decorations and state dinner menu for Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and his wife Yuko using cherry blossoms and hydrangeas to color the venue on the day.

S/Jill Biden, First Lady: For dinner, the state floor will transform into a vibrant spring garden, a place of joy and renewal, of hope and growth.

The presidential couple plans to serve American beef steak and a cake with cherry blossoms drawn on it for dessert.
